Efficiency of dotnet licensing?

I am developing a C# class library, which I would like to protect with
the standard .net licensing scheme.
Trouble is, I think you can only make classes (not entire libraries)
licensed. There are many classes in the library, I don't want to have
to make them all licensed.
There is one particular data class which almost everything uses, so if
I protected that it wouldn't matter if everything else was
unprotected. But instances of this class are created and disposed very
often. Would it kill performance to make this a licensed class?
My other idea was to create a special class (maybe a singleton) which
is protected by a license. The class does nothing useful, but other
classes could check (very efficiently) if the singleton has been
created.
Any other strategies out there?
