Restricting Web Application usage when Licensing

Question

Hi,

I am just putting some finishing touches onto a Licensing solution for a Web Application I have created for SharePoint. I want to be able prevent the page from loading the Web Application Content when the license is invalid. I have tried the following...

    protected override void Render(HtmlTextWriter writer)
    {
        if (LicensingInformation.Status == Status.Active)
        {
           base.Render(writer);
        }
    }

but it kills everything on the page, I still want to view the master page and a jquery dialog box I have created to display feedback to the user.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Much Appreciated
