DotMsn Connection Licensing
OK. I'm using DotMsn and C# to connect to MSN network, but 95% of the time, it fail. Currently, I am using the default setting provided DotMsn as my connection parameter
-- client id:msmsgs@msnmsgr.com
-- Client code:Q1P7W2E4J9R8U3S5.
I believe the connection failures have something to do with the licensing as the official documentation stated that:
"Note that officially you must use an obtained license (client id and client code) from Microsoft in order to access the network legally"
I wonders where can i register for a license to the network?

At this time, there isn't a program from which to request a license for an application that was built using non-certified tools. Something like dotMSN would be considered a non-certified tool. The App ID's created for the Activity API program http://activity.msn.com are different than an ID for a protocol tool like dotMSN.
If you're looking to build a Activity/Bot application I would encourage you to evaluate one of the existing certified partners tools.

DotMSN isn't a certified solution.
What that means to you, is that if you build a bot on top of it you won't be able to get the bot offically licensed on the network (provisioned to have the reverse list removed, which enables more than 1,000 people to have your bot on their contact list).
I hope that helps.
