Store data in the license file

Scroll Prev Top Next More

This feature allows storing encrypted data in the license file. The license file acts like a small database. There are commands to save, retrieve and delete a record.

 

The data area could be used to store:

 

"Program configuration parameters

"Usage of the application - like number of program starts or last online validation

"Additional customer information

"Other custom values you do not want to save in the registry, an ini-file or a database

 

It works in the way that you use an ID and assign a text to this ID, e.g. ID = LastOnlineValidation, Text = 09/09/201.

 

 

You can generate and deploy license files with already stored values or you can store information during the runtime of your program.

 

All values can either be displayed in the License Viewer in the section Configuration or they can be just used internally and  then they are invisible in the License Viewer. Each value can have a different setting (e.g. value 1 and 3 are visible in the License Viewer, value 2 is invisible).

 

The ID for each record must be unique.

There are different options, how to add and modify the data.

 

 Store data using the License Generator

 

 

 

The data area can also be changed if the license file is uploaded to the Activation Server 6, then modified and then downloaded again

 

License file upload / download in the source code

Modify license file on the Activation Server 6

 

 

 Do not store large data e.g. MIME-encoded binary data like images or movies as this would significantly slow down the access to the license file. Especially with concurrent user, the license file is permanently read and updated.

 

 

 

 

 

This feature is only available in the Professional Edition.
