Use own hardware IDs

Scroll Prev Top Next More

Licence Protector 5 supports using own hardware IDs. This makes sense if you deliver a custom made machine and you want to bind the license to this machine. The machine ID can be stored in the license file and then verified during runtime.

 

The workflow would be as follows.

Create a license file

 

You have to create a license file for each customer with special settings.

 

Set the status of Activation to done

Valid Number of Days = 0 (no time limitation)

Type in the customer name

 

Implement the standard EasyGo workflow. This would allow you to also deliver license files with evaluation versions. Setting the activation status to done just suppresses the activation screens.

 

 

Store your own hardware ID

 

Save the hardware ID either in the in the data area of the license file (most flexible method because it allows storing multiple data) or in the Internal Marking field (TAG value) of the license file.

 

 

 

Retrieve Value during runtime

You would use the standard EasyGo commands and retrieve your hardware ID during runtime.

 

For hardware IDs stored in the data area see chapter Store data in the license file how to retrieve the values.

If you use the Internal Marking field you would use the command GetVal, Token LTG to retrieve the value.
