Desaware Licensing System Wins Again

VB.NET Forum has just posted an extensive comparison of the features of our Licensing System. http://www.vbdotnetforums.com/showthread.php?t=265

We appreciate the great review from their staff. 

Desaware Consulting How Can We Help You?

We have had some interesting consulting assignments lately. One retainer contract allowed our client the flexibility to ask us questions that occasionally came up during his migration process. 

We were able to provide our client with the answer either immediately or after a short amount of research. Plus, we provided sample code to help our customer get over some of the rough spots. 

Another client had some really nasty 3rd party structures and functions to migrate to VB.NET. The way these structures were declared made them "unsupported" in .NET. We were able to write custom structures in VB.NET and marshal them correctly to their respective API functions for our client.

If you have need of consulting services for your project, contact us at 408/404-4760 or support@desaware.com .
