PublishLicense defines security data about rights, users, and other security-related information. The license defines how a specific user on a specific computer can use specified rights managed content.
The publishing process begins with the document author, who defines rights information in an UnsignedPublishLicense. Next, the author creates a signed PublishLicense by calling the Sign method of the UnsignedPublishLicense. The serialized form of the signed PublishLicense can then be provided to end users who can use it to acquire a UseLicense by calling the AcquireUseLicense method of the PublishLicense. The returned UseLicense then allows the client application to exercise the rights that were granted to the user.
As with other System.Security.RightsManagement types, PublishLicense is only usable in full trust applications.
