I want that my protected software asks for a license when it runs. If there is no license I don't want that my application starts. Can I do it with WinLicense?

Yes, just follow the next simple steps:

 

1) In the "Registration panel" you have to check the option "This application can be registered..."

 

2) Select the key type that you expect for your application (File License, Registry License, SmartKey...)

 

3) Check the option "Application only runs when Registered (Requires a key to run)"

 

Now, if you launch your application and a license key is not present, your protected application will display the message MSG_ID_LICENSE_REQUIRED_RUN (in the Customized Dialog panel). You can edit that message to display what you want. If you want to display your own forms or nice dialogs, you can use the Plugin system.
