VSPackage Load Keys
Visual Studio 2005
[This topic is pre-release documentation and is subject to change in future releases. Blank topics are included as placeholders.]
To prevent unauthenticated VSPackages from running in Visual Studio, each VSPackage to be loaded in a deployed application must have a valid package load key (PLK).
The Visual Studio SDK provides a developer load key (DLK) that makes it possible for VSPackages to load without a PLK during development.
