Deploy of IIS EntityServer error

If you're using pure POCO entities and don't have a Code First or database-generated model, you're right that there won't be a license for DevForce to find at runtime.  Installing DevForce adds the license to the registry, which DevForce will check as a fallback if a license isn't found in a model assembly.   If you don't wish to install DevForce you can instead generate a stub model with license information.  PM me if interested in this option.
