Overview

FossLock.Web is an ASP.NET MVC5 web application that serves two roles:

1. It enables you an interface to manage your Licenses, Products and Customers.
2. If exposed to the web, and you've setup the client properly, it provides a web activation API.

Installation on IIS

Step 1 - Building The Assembly

Note: This guide assumes that you're familiar with checking out a repository from github and opening a project in Visual Studio 2012. It is also assumed that you have internet access (as you're going to need it or this process will fail).

First thing, make sure the build is set for "Release" and not "Debug".

Next, find Web.Release.config in the root of the "Web - License Manager" project and open it for editing. You'll find a connection string transform in there (the default that ships with the source code is looking for the SQLExpress database on your local machine.. probably not what you want). Simply replace this with the appropriate connection string for your database.
