    If you develop in Visual Studio 2008 and deploy a project, is the licensing information of the instance of Visual Studio you used stored in any of the files?  If so, how can you view this information?

    You can't stop entropy so why even try?

    Hello,

    You could remove such info if any from your aspx files, and after that you could use copy deployment, I mean to copy all files and to compile on the fly without dll files. What exactly bothering you about licensing information?

    Regards

    I'm curious about the "big brother" factor basically.  I want to see if someone creates an application if someone else can track it back to a specific license.  This is useful for legal reasons at the very least.

    Hi Avarice,

    From your description, I understand that you want to know if the Visual Studio product license information will exist in the deployed project. Then sombody can know your Visual Studio product license by analyzing the deployed project. If I have misunderstood your concern, pleaes let me know.

    For this question, the answer is no. Visual Studio will not add its license information in anywhere of its projects.
