Create a license file by an external application

It is possible to create or change a license file, which is stored on Activation Server 5, using the Licence Protector API. Using a license file from Activation Server 5 needs an implementation for a license file upload / download within the protected application.

Create and upload a license file

Create a license file using the Licence Generator. This license file should include all modules and is used as a generic license file (like a template). In case of a new delivery, always this license file is used and modified.

Change module values

•Open your local (generic) license file using PrepareForce

Using the Licence Protector API you can:

•Change module values like quantity (SetVal, TLI)

•Set Demo Version to NO (SetVal, DMO = 0)

•Set Activation Status to Done (SetVal, WST = 2)

•Delete time limitation (SetVal, EXO = 1899-12-30)

Instead of changing existing modules you can:

•Read the module list using GetModuleList

•Delete all modules using DeleteModule

•Add the modules again with the real values using AddModule

Create a Serial Number / ID

The license file has to be linked with a Serial Number /D. You create the Serial Number / ID using an http call to Activation Server 5.

Upload the license file

Upload the license file using the Serial Number / ID with UploadLic. Add the customer address using SendCustomer and the same Serial Number /D.

Change an existing license file

To change an existing license file, you need the Serial Number / ID

•Open your local (generic) license file using PrepareForce

•Download the license file from Activation Server 5 using DownloadLic and the Serial Number / ID

•Modify the module values

•Upload the license file using the Serial Number / ID with UploadLic
