EasySearchASP.LICX file is a file that defines the license for your EasySearchASP installation. If this file is missing, EasySearchASP act as a demo product, only scanning 15 pages, and displaying an EasySearch logo on the results page.

By default this file is stored in the Bin sub folder of your web application. An alternative location for the license file can be defined in either the Web.Config or Machine.Config files with one the following entry samples.

<add key="EasySearchLicensePath" value="~/EasySearch/EasySearch.licx" />
<add key="EasySearchLicensePath" value="D:\vault\licenses\EasySearchASP.licx" />

This flexibility allows for hosting companies, and site licenses to be all ran from a single license file (if the entry is in the Machine.Config).

Finally the license file may be embedded as a resource in any .net assembly available to your application. This could be an assembly in the GAC, or an assembly in the /Bin folder of your application. This option makes deploying EasySearch within your organization easier, and more secure,because the license file is not being passed around from machine to machine.
