activation

I had created a COM+ domain partition then mapped it to a Windows 2008 server machine and imported a COM+ application into it. I tried using the following C# code to activate an object from that specific partition on the server remotely: //partition guid Guid guidMyPartition = new Guid("41E90F3E-56C1-4633-81C3-6E8BAC8BDD70"); //parition moniker string uri= "partition:{" + guidMyPartition + "}/new:MyObject"; Type t = Type.GetTypeFromProgID("MyObject", "MyServer"); MyObject obj = (MyObject)Activator.GetObject(t, uri); But I get this exception: Cannot create channel sink to connect to URL

Would there be any big issues if they never expire? Somebody forgot his password and requests to reset his password, an email with the password reset link is sent to him. He then suddenly remembers his password and so he simply ignores the password reset email. But after a few days, he forgot again. Since he already has a password reset email in his mailbox, he simply clicks on that link to go back to the website to reset his password. This seems ok, so why should we make account activation/password reset links expire after some time? What if their email account was compromised. The attacker

Background: I am creating system images that will be loaded onto several workstations. Windows activation will occur after the images are loaded onto the workstation. These computers will not be connected to the Internet and will be activated over the phone. Question: I would like to check programmatically if Windows 7 is activated or not, so that our software will not run if Windows 7 is not activated. Our software is written in C#. The Software Licensing API - SLIAPI , take at look at SLIsGenuineLocal() . (Replaces LegitCheck ) You can run "Slmgr.vbs" on the machine and then redirect the

I've written an application and I'd like to add a registration key/serial number to it (I'm big on minimum inconvinience - ala #4 at this Eric Sink article ). My question is about where to store the "activation" once the application has been registered. As I understand it, I have a trade-off between storing the key in a public place, where all users can read it (but which requires admin rights to save there) and storing a per-user activation (but then each user on the computer will have to activate independantly). That gives me two choices: Some user, with local admin rights, activates the

I am using activation based on file exists in my pom.xml. However, my profile is ALWAYS executed, no matter what. Here is the profile description: <profile> <id>copy</id> <activation> <file> <exists>file.xml</exists> </file> </activation> <build> <plugins> <plugin> <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId> <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId> <version>1.7</version> <executions> <execution> <id>copy-resources</id> <phase>validate</phase> <configuration> <target name="copy and rename file"> <copy file="${basedir}/src/main/resources/application.${env}.properties" tofile="${basedir}/src

I'm trying to set up my django-registration activation workflow so that when the user hits the activation link it redirects them to the login page with a nice little message using the django messages framework django.contrib.messages Right now, I've managed to send the user back to the homepage using the success_url parameter: url(r'activate/(?P<activation_key>\w+)/$', activate, {'backend': 'registration.backends.default.DefaultBackend', 'success_url':'/'}, name='registration_activate', ), where '/' is the home login view. I need to set the success message somewhere along the way...perhaps
