How do I require developers to license my tool, but still allow them to ship with their software?

Question

Some applications require me to install/activate a license before I can develop with them in Visual Studio, but then when I compile my application, no license is required by the end-user. What's the easiest way to accomplish this? How can I prevent a developer from using whatever method the final DLL uses when it runs on a client machine?

To clarify, I'm not looking for a specific license that allows for this situation - I'm interested in an enforcement method.

Aren't you looking for the classic *.licx file move?
