My question in summary (read further down for details):

==> Is it possible to install, use and redistribute
AuthorizationManager (DLL and MMC) within a custom product also on XP?

---

In a previous project we successfully used Windows 2003
AuthenticationManager (AzMan) for fine-grained role-based
authentication. We also made use of the Administration Tools Pack for
XP (for development/testing purposes and server management)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=E487F885-F0C7
-436A-A392-25793A25BAD7&displaylang=en.

In my current project (.NET 3.0/SQL) we are currently investigating
possibilities for role-based security (authorization). However, as a
requirement Windows XP (beside 2003 and Vista) is also a needed
deployment platform.

I quickly checked the license agreement of the AdminPack and
understood (not easy...) that an installation/redistribution is not
allowed on XP, at least for the whole AdminPack. However, we would
only need the Microsoft.Interop.Security.AzRoles.dll DLL and the MMC
add-in.

Can anyone help?
