License File - open file and license test

The license file must be located on the USB flash drive. There is no modification in the source code necessary to use the USB flash drive protection.

In the PrepareAndCheck command you specify the path and license file name.

A good idea is to ask during installation, if the application should use a USB flash drive and then open a file dialog to browse for the drive. The installer could then copy the file to this folder. Save the path in the registry or configuration file.

If you deliver the USB flash drive, then the file would already be on the USB flash drive. The installer just needs to browse for the drive and does not copy the file.

If the complete application runs on the stick, the path would be the same path where the application starts.

To prevent, that the USB flash drive is removed after the program start, make regular license tests, e.g. every 15 minutes.
