Assembly: System (in System.dll)
The License type exposes the following members.

![]() | LicenseKey | When overridden in a derived class, gets the license key granted to this component. |
| Name | Description | |

![]() | Dispose | When overridden in a derived class, disposes of the resources used by the license. |
![]() | Equals(Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | Finalize | Allows an object to try to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before it is reclaimed by garbage collection. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetHashCode | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | GetType | Gets the Type of the current instance. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | MemberwiseClone | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. (Inherited from Object.) |
![]() | ToString | Returns a string that represents the current object. (Inherited from Object.) |
All components must call Dispose for the licenses they grant when the component is disposed or finalized.
