that lingering DevExpress error about not being registered and how to make it go away

After you install DevExpress and register it and you still see this at every page of your application...

You have installed DevExpress Products in Evaluation Mode – To purchase a license, please visit us online at: www.devexpress.com/purchase. If you’ve purchased DevExpress Products and need to register your license, please review: www.devexpress.com/Support/Center/KB/p/K18106.aspx.

 
 

...you may get rid of the lingering lack of registration recognition by following the steps here. What I did was:

  1. deleted DevExpressThemes.dll from the bin folder
  2. found licenses.licx, opened it in Notepad, removed everything inside, and resaved it
  3. rebuilt in Visual Studio
  4. made some superficial change in one of the DevExpress controls
  5. rebuilt anew
  6. undid my silly superficial change
