Getting Started with IT Hit WebDAV Server Engine
Download the IT Hit WebDAV Server Engine in the product download area here and run the setup. The installation program installs WebDAV wizards for Visual Studio. In the product download area you can also download a zip file that contains WebDAV server samples and class reference documentation. You can also download samples and browse sample code on GitHub.
In many cases, if you have a previous version of IT Hit WebDAV Server project, you would want only to update IT Hit WebDAV Server modules. You can find them in the NuGet repository.
Setting License
When you run any WebDAV wizard for Visual Studio first time, you will be asked to enter the license file. You can request the trial license directly from License Setup Wizard or you can download it from your account here. You will also need the license to run samples provided with SDK.
Note that the product is fully functional even with a trial license and does not have any limitations during 1-month trial period. The License Setup Wizard will save the license file in the registry and will automatically copy it into your project source code when generating WebDAV server implementation files when using WebDAV wizards for Visual Studio.
The license file is set via DavEngineAsync.License property, so you are free to program the license storage place.
When the trial license expires you will get a notification when you run the WebDAV wizard as well as you will receive a reminder email several days before expiration. When you purchase the non-trial license you can replace the trial license selecting "Set License" link located in WebDAV wizards for Visual Studio. In addition, you will need to replace the trial license in the code, generated by the Wizard at the time when the trial license was used.
