When using PostSharp Essentials, I get -info LICENSING: Type SomeClass with required premium packages [Framework] was weaved using the Essentials license

Hi,

I am using an aspect OnMethodBoundaryAspect using PostSharp Essentials in my project(a commercial project with couple of team members) but not able to understand some of its free features. I am using PostSharp Essentials because I only need to use that aspect and nothing else.

On the support page - Postsharp Essentials , it says that I can use OnMethodBoundaryAspect after disabling semantic advising, however I am not able to understand the terms mentioned under ### Enforcement of the solution-level limit which goes as below

You can find more information about how we count lines of code in licensing-counting-lines.
The limitation of 1000 enhanced lines of code per solution is implemented not by looking at the .sln file, but by counting the lines of code of classes in all assemblies that are referenced by the current assembly. That is, the limit is actually 1000 lines of code of enhanced types in the whole assembly closure.

Can somebody help me understand what does it mean, will I be charged going forward even if I am using only OnMethodBoundaryAspect?

Hi, thanks for reaching out. The OnMethodBoundaryAspect can be used for free in an unlimited amount of code with semantic advising disabled. Please make sure you understand the consequences of having the semantic advising disabled. More information about semantic advising can be found at https://doc.postsharp.net/il/custompatterns/aspects/semantic-advising.

The solution-level enforcement will not affect you in this case, but if you use a premium feature, the enhanced LOC counted will be the sum of the enhanced LOC of the project being built + the enhanced LOC of each referenced project that uses PostSharp.
