GetInstCode

You can use this function to display the Installation Code to the user, if you don’t want to use the License Viewer or EasyGo.

InstallationCode = GetInstCode(CopyProtectType)

The value 0 (No Copy Protection) in the function GetInstCode retrieves a default value. The value is B3F5AA23. You can use it as an indication, that the license file has no Copy Protection. A better and recommended way to determine the type of activated copy protection is to use GetCopyProtection() which delivers 0 for none, 1 for VolumeID, 2 for MAC address and 3 for Hostname.

Note

If an installation code can not be retrieved (e.g. no MAC address available) then you get back an empty string.
