Force license verification on update

Hello,

I am trying to verify license on update check. I configured "Updates Configuration" Setup to use license verification url. I configured my application setup to call updater.exe with licenseid parameter.
When updater.exe is called with licenseid parameter, it requests my license server and checks/downloads/installs the new update.
When updater.exe is called without licenseid parameter, it doesn't request my license server and checks/downloads/installs the new update.

Is there any way to force call updater.exe with licenseid parameter?
or
Is there any way to stop updater.exe when called without licenseid parameter?

Re: Force license verification on update

Hello,

Unfortunately it is not possible to stop updater.exe when called without licenseid parameter. This comes from a limitation in our Updater feature design.

I would recommend implementing the licensing feature in the application itself as this is the most secure option.
