What is FossLock

Before we get started: This project is on-going and not ready for inclusion in ANY production applications.

FossLock is a simple, open source, copy protection library for applications running on the .NET or Monoframework.

It consists of two important features:

• An ASP.NET MVC licensing Web Server (including a web-based front end for managing licenses)
• A client library (that you bundle with your application.)

FossLock is an in-spirit fork of an existing project called ActiveLock. Originally, we intended on simply adding some new features to the existing code base to support an ASP.NET web server and some more licensing features, but after looking at the original code base, we decided on a from-scratch.

This is in no way intended to be a replacement for commercial copy-protection libraries. As an ISV, those products are typically well outside the budget of small companies (or solo operations) anyway.
