    Hi!

    What's the official way to license customers of a product (CRM 2011 solution)? (from developer's point of view)

    Does it have something already implemented or developers should implement it by themselves?


    Thanks in advance!

    There is no 'official' way to license your CRM Solution.  If you want to place it in the marketplace it will act as an off-the-shelf shrink-wrapped product, unless you build in your own licensing/validation.  The suggestions I have heard from Microsoft tend to focus on enforcing licensing through custom plug-ins embedded in your solution.  You could have the plug-in validate through an independent or Azure-hosted web service, or build in your own validation through custom entities in CRM.
