What does Licenses.licx really do for DevExpress controls? I deleted all the lines in the licenses.licx and there is no difference. I successfully compiled and run my application. I am suprised with this behavior. Can anyone explain me the details about what is happening?

Take a look at this post on the DX forum:

The licenses.licx file contains licensing information about controls used in the your application. It is then compiled into the App_Licenses.dll. It should be deployed along with your web site when you deploy the project. If you need to regenerate the App_Licenses.dll, right click the licenses.licx file in the solution explorer and choose the "Build Runtime Licences" command.
