- VFP2IIS FREE VERSION

VFP2IIS FREE version is free and does not need activation. The Server and Developer versions need activation.

- VFP2IIS SERVER VERSION

With the SERVER license you get a VFP2IIS.KEY file. This file must be inserted into the folder with VFP2IIS.DLL to unlock VFP2IIS and remove IP restriction. VFP2IIS.KEY file can be used on one server only and must not be distributed. This file contains information about the type of license, SN and owner of license.

- VFP2IIS DEVELOPER VERSION

With the DEVELOPER license you get one VFP2IIS.KEY file. This file must be inserted into the folder with VFP2IIS.DLL to unlock VFP2IIS and remove IP restriction. VFP2IIS.KEY file can be used on one server only and must not be distributed. This file contains information about the type of license, SN and owner of license.

Unlike SERVER license you obtain additional "Activation key" number. In your WEB application you can invoke License method of VFP2IIS object with your SN and activation key to unlock restriction in VFP2IIS.

In this manner you can distribute your WEB application with FREE version of VFP2IIS and dynamically unlock it for your application. Activation key can not be distributed and used for general activation of VFP2IIS (other than your application).
