I am looking for some kind of standard way for application licensing. For instance, whenever an user buys my software, a license will be emailed to him or her and the application will check that license online.
I found some 3rd party solutions for that but I was wondering if there is a standard way provided by Microsoft for that scenario as I believe it's a very common one.
PS: This is a desktop application, not a Windows 8 store one.
PS2: I apologize if I'm posting in the wrong forum. Please indicate the right forum if that's not the appropriate one.
