Licence Protector 5

To deliver a license file via download, the following steps are necessary:

 

•Create a license file with the License Generator and upload this file to the Activation Server 6

•User gets a Serial Number which he can use to download his license

•The product activation downloads the license file

•When additional modules or licenses are bought, the license is manually updated on the Activation Server 6

•User downloads updated license information

 

Create a license file and upload it

Load your project and configure all the license options the customer ordered.  You can either create the license file with the License Generator or just copy an existing license file on the Activation Server 6.

 

Create a default license file, upload it with the Generator and then always copy this default license file on the Activation Server 6.

 

 

 

User activates the software

Use the EasyGo commands (function reference EasyGo). You must use SetRegisterLictransfer with the following options:

 

•TransferLicence = true - this option activates the license file download

•File Description must have the same value like used in the screen to upload the license file

•Encryption Code must have the same value like used in the screen to upload the license file

 

The activation option should be restricted to online - SetRegisterSettings

 

•As the license file is modified after the download (e.g. copy protection is turned on), a good idea is to upload it. The command GetActionsOfLastPrepareAndCheck provides the 'event', when the activation was done. Use UploadLic to upload the file

 

If a Serial Number / ID is used, which was not previously uploaded to the Activation Server 6 and assigned to a license file, the default (=demo license) file is activated but all the customer specific modules would not be available

 

Modify the license file - add or change licenses

If the user buys additional modules or more network licenses, you change the license information on the Activation Server 6.

 

 

 

 

User updates license information

Provide a menu option: Update my license

 

Use the following code sequence:

 

 

•Read the Serial Number using GetSerial

•Now update the license information using DownloadWholeLic

 

This will download the latest license file information from the Activation Server 6

 

You can also offer an option to upload the license file using UploadLic.
