We use a home-grown Registration System for our software but I'd like to update it fixing a number of things including adding the ability to remotely activate/deactivate it (to facilitate Saas).
Feel free to suggest any good (in your opinion) VB6- compatible option. I can check out whether it meets our other criteria below.
Required Features:
Activate multiple programs (Ok if it generates a separate code for each one)
Works with VB6 and VB.net. A VB6-compatible DLL should be fine.
Still supported (nice to have but not absolutely required
Compatible with Windows 2000 through 7.
Nice-to-have features (but not required)
* Work without internet access
* Works through a firewall (this may be a tough one)
Any suggestions?
Check out ActiveX control: http://www.aztechsoft.com/timelock.htm
A little old school, but you should be able to wrap it in a .NET container using Interop.
I found a list of Licensing systems. I'll go through each one to evaluate them:

I know that there are many tools for the visualization of databases such as metabase, grafana, tableau, superset ...
But I don't know of any packaged software that allows CRUD operations (crete, read, update and delete) on a database.
This problem has been presented to me several times in several of my projects, wanting to make a table available to a user and that does not merit custom development. I bet a lot of people must have this same situation
But I have not found any packaged software that provides crud operations on a database table. So it seems extremely strange to me and I wanted to see why, is there a design problem in this functionality? Or am I just doing the wrong google search and these softwares have another name?
Do you mean something like a Database Management Tool?
You have plenty of them, personally I use DBeaver.
If you mean about frameworks which generate a boilerplate API with CRUD operations, you have Loopback, from IBM.
And if you mean something you could access as a web-application, then you have PHPMyAdmin if you're focused into MySQL/MariaDB.

Hi I have been given a task to design tool to monitor database server health like cpu usage, memory usage etc. Now there is one such tool like MySQL Spotlight. I want to know is there any open source software available with same functionalities? I want software which has nice visualization with charts. Please guide. Thanks in advance.
You could use Cacti for this. Also look at Nagios.
Check out http://code.openark.org/forge/mycheckpoint. It is an open sourced monitoring tool, primarily for db monitoring, even including custom queries and custom alerts! Graphs come pre-packaged and pre-generated. It's written in python, so mods can added to the code easily. I've used it a bit, and it seems to work pretty well. The only caveat I see is the extensive schema that comes pre-packaged which, ostensibly, can't be customized. One thing I will note for the email alerts, if you're getting login or credential alerts, go to line 4338 of the code and just add what you need to the smtplib.SMTP instance.

I would like to move some users off of MS Access and onto an open-source DB like MySQL, Postegres, or even SQLite. Transferring the tables from one DB to another is no problem, but I need to be able to also provide them with a similar UI as the MS Access forms they are using to input the data. Additionally, I would like to be able to give them nice report outputs that reference a table or query.
What open-source alternatives are suggested/available for easily building and storing queries, forms, and reports similar to MS Access, without a ton of programming needed to get them up-and-running quickly?
Obviously I am immediately targeting Windows alternatives, but I don't want to limit suggestions to just one OS.
Open Office - Base seems to be a good option
We were to solve this problem also and considered OO Base not being very good option (note it was like 4 years ago). So we use MS Access as a frontend with ODBC connection to mysql database. It works quite well.

I am developing a web based opensource project. I was considering the AGPL v3, but I explicitly want to prevent commercial use. Non-profit orgs are welcome to use it for free.
It seems to be a common thing in the software world, but I am looking for a pre-written license that I could use or adapt.
Any ideas where I can find such a thing? Are there accepted opensource licenses that fit this criteria?
It is not a good idea to use such a license, because it is sometimes very hard to draw the line between commercial and non-commercial, especially juridically.
However, you may check out Creative Commons licenses.
You won't find any open source licenses that prevent commercial use. That's against the spirit of open source and wouldn't fit into the definition of open source.
There cannot possibly be such a license. Forbidding the use of the source code is the exact opposite of open source. Ergo, there cannot ever possible be an open source license which has such a restriction, and a license which has such a restriction cannot ever possibly be an open source license.

I need for a ready-to-use WPF contacts manager with source code (possibly in C#).
Incredibly, the web seems to be very poor on that side.
I've found these links for interesting implementation:
http://www.johnstagich.com/WPF/publish.htm -> No source code available
http://www.paulstovell.com/wpf-model-view-presenter -> source code broken link from undetermined time...
I don't need fireworks... just an implementation with basic contacts fields, able to manage some thousands of contacts and an embedded search engine.
I was initially tempted to use Microsoft LightSwitch, but it's already in Beta 1, and the intrinsic limitations of Silverlight made me change road.
Any suggestions?
Although this is not the answer you are looking for try using Karl Shifletts Xaml Powertoys to build simple data entry forms for you in WPF.
