For that reason, the setup of TX Text Control doesn't register the assemblies in the GAC (global assembly cache) anymore. This change leads to several required changes for the licensing of TX Text Control in different .NET application types. ### Changes in Licenses.licx A very important change are the required entries in the *licenses.licx* file. > **What is the licenses.licx?** > > The *licenses.licx* file is not a TX Text Control specific file, but a Visual Studio file that is used by lc.exe (which is part of the .NET SDK) to compile the licenses into the resources of the calling assembly. Before version 30.0, it was possible to add the licensed assemblies without a version number. Now that the assemblies are no longer registered in the GAC, the full version number must be added. The following example shows entries for the Windows Forms *TXTextControl.Windows.Forms*, the *TXTextControl.Windows.Forms.Ribbon.Ribbon* and the *ServerTextControl*: ``` TXTextControl.ServerTextControl, TXTextControl.Server, Version=30.0.1500.500, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6b83fe9a75cfb638 TXTextControl.TextControl, TXTextControl.Windows.Forms, Version=30.0.1500.500, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6b83fe9a75cfb638 TXTextControl.Windows.Forms.Ribbon.Ribbon, TXTextControl.Windows.Forms, Version=30.0.1500.500, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=6b83fe9a75cfb638 ``` If the version number is not included and you have an older version of TX Text Control installed, you will receive a licensing error as an older version (that has been found in the GAC) will be included. ### Building License Files If you need to build your license files manually using *lc.exe*, it is required to include the full path to the modules listed in the */i* flags. Otherwise, an older version from the GAC might be used. > **Why would I generate a license file manually?** > > For specific tasks, a license file must be generated manually. For example, if TX Text Control is used in a project that is compiled on a build server as part of a CI pipeline.

To specify more than one module like in this sample, use multiple */i* flags. ``` lc.exe /target:MyApplication.exe /complist:licenses.licx /i:"C:\Program Files\Text Control GmbH\TX Text Control 30.0.NET for Windows Forms\Assembly\TxTextControl.Windows.Forms.dll" /i:"C:\Program Files\Text Control GmbH\TX Text Control 30.0.NET for Windows Forms\Assembly\TXTextControl.Server.dll" ``` In order to use the above command, open a command prompt and execute the command in the according BIN folder of your application (the folder that contains the calling assembly DLL or EXE). Make sure that the *licenses.licx* is also in the same folder. --- ## About Bjoern Meyer As CEO, Bjoern is the visionary behind our strategic direction and business development, bridging the gap between our customers and engineering teams.
