A key list with hundreds of Serial Numbers can be generated in a batch process with the Automatic License Generator.
This is required if the application is sold via stores or with a box. It also simplifies the administration because per order just a key from the list can be used.
In the folder ..\EasyGo\key list you find sample configuration files. Basically, you have to define exactly the same settings like you would use with the manual generation of a Serial Number.
Change NoOfkeys (=number of keys you want to generate) and use your module number as ProductID.
This file includes the definition, with which options the Serial Number should be created. Use the same values like you would use within the License Generator and manual generation. You have to change in the sample file:
•ProductID to your product ID used in the shop
•ProjectFilename
•ModuleNumber
•WebActivation must be set to required, ForceOnlineCheck must be set to no
•MakeSerial must be set to yes to create a Serial Number key
• LocalReuse allows a reinstallation
•CreateMultipleKeys = yes creates for the selected quantity in the shopping card multiple single Serial Numbers - e.g. quantity = 10 would result in 10 Serial Numbers
•Days should be set Number of days until Unlock Key has to be used and AbsoluteDays=yes to delete remaining days from a trial version
Start the process-key list.bat to create the key list.
Change
•NoOfKeys to the number of Serial Numbers you want to generate, e.g. 100 would generate a keylist with 100 Serial Numbers
•Quantity - For a Yes/No module it must be 1. For a network license it is the number of network licenses, e.g. 5 = 5 user or 5 PC network license
The sample above creates 100 keys with a 2 user/PC network license.
To make a Serial Number for a network license or counter set value to the number of network licenses you want to allow and AbsoluteLics to Yes. This replaces the existing value in the license file and does not add the licenses. Find a sample in the file config-key list-easygo-network.xml.
•CreateMultipleKeys = no - creates for the selected quantity in the shopping card one single Serial Numbers - e.g. quantity = 10 would result in one Serial Number where number of licenses = 10
Never define ForceOnlineCheck=Yes for a Serial Number Key. The online validation is automatically done if the user selects Online Activation during the activation process.
A key list can also be created using the License Generator - see create a key list with Serial Numbers
After making a test, you can analyze a key if it has the correct settings - see: Analyze Activation Key
