• Visual Studio Team System GUI Change requires checkout of licenses.licx

  We are using a couple of 3rd party components that have information stored in the licenses.licx file. We have noticed that anytime you edit a GUI that has one of these 3rd party components, the IDE requires us to check out the licenses.licx file. The problem is that there is one licenses.licx file per project.  If I want to edit GUI-A, I have to check GUI-A and the licenses.licx file out.  If another develper wants to work on GUI-B in the same project they are unable to do so, because the IDE requires them to check out the licenses.licx file -- which I have previously checked out for my changes. Is this a problem with VS2005/Team o ...Show All
