wodSFTdll source code - why bother? (General questions)

by Art, Tuesday, October 23, 2007, 18:53 (6241 days ago)

We purchased a license with the source code. I always try to get source code when I buy third party controls and toolkits so we have more control over our future (if the supplier goes out business or we want to embed the source into a different DLL, or recompile with a future version of Visual C++, etc.).

Will I be able to recompile all source code with VC++ 8 for example? Can I recompile the source code as part of my EXE instead of shipping seperate DLL? These are the types of thing I expect to be able to do with source code.

But it seems the source for CWeOnlyDoLicense is not included with the package, and therefore my compilation depends on linking to LicenseDebug.obj or LicenseRetail.obj. It looks like I cannot compile a new License*.obj myself.

Is this correct? If so, it really makes the purchase of a source code license almost worthless to me.
