There is of course commercial .NET and Java software to consider. For
commercial software to be viable, there must be some restriction on use
beyond
a paper license agreement. In these cases, the Xheo option (for Windows) or
FlexLM work quite well. While in the end they really just keep honest people
honest, it is solid piece of mind that your commercial product isn't going
to
be distributed ad hoc all over the world.
