Hello,

I want to use ClickOnce to deploy my WinForms application to "paid"
customers only. How can ensure that only registered users of my application
can download/update it?

Also what happens if the user stops subscribing/paying for updates? If i
force a mandatory update to "current users" how can i ensure that only
registered/paying customers get the update while
still allowing "non-paying" customers to continue using the outdtaed version
of the system that they paid for?

Is clickonce geared for this kind of model or is it an enterprise intranet
roll out technology?

Thanks

Richard

If you configure the client application to run with full trust, you can
add code to check for updates, check their subscription, and only
download updates for the paid subscribers.  Look at the classes in the
System.Deployment namespace.
