How do you provide the license string to a local server?

If you are using ArcGIS Runtime SDK for .NET and building a WPF app, you might be able to use the Local Server component and write a Python script and share as a Geoprocessing package.

The 'CAD to Geodatabase' geoprocessing tool is also supported in Local Server:

@MichaelBranscomb My use case is slightly different. I'd like to be able to open a dwg file and interrogate it for certain objects (north arrow, scale bar, layer types, etc).

I've searched through the help documentation for both 10.2.x and 100.x, and have been able to find any reference. I might have to resort to writing some arcobjects 🙂
