Commercial use

Hi All,

We are in process of designing a GUI application using PowerShell Studio 2015. We are planning to distribute application for commercial use.

Can someone please let us know what all things we need to keep in mind before the application can be ready for commercial distribution? For example, how about PowerShell cmdlets licensing? Similarly, how about control licenses such as Treeview, Datagridview, etc.

Basically, we would like to know what license terms to include.

By the way, is there any way to create a license term using PowerShell studio?

Thanks heaps!

We don't really know what your application does and what it uses, so we cannot give any legal advise on what you need to do or not.

The PowerShell cmdlets and standard UI controls are part of the Windows operating system and of course require no additional licensing.
They are just on the target system. If you have specific PowerShell version requirements you should check for those in the installer.

If you require any third party controls or modules then you need to contact the specific vendor.

I am not sure what you mean by "create a license term".

Thanks for taking the time to respond!

Is there any way to generate a license or use the License text file in PowerShell Studio MSI builder?
