			A lincense manager written in C/C++ for Windows and Linux environments.
			A copy protection, licensing software written in C++ for Windows and Linux (with a simple C api for use in C projects).

			It allows to protect the software you develop from unauthorized copies,
			limit the usage in time, to a specific set of machines, or prevent the usage in
			virtualized environments. It is an Open License Manager that helps to keep your
			software closed ;-)
			software closed :smirk: . A comprehensive [list of features](https://github.com/open-license-manager/open-license-manager/wiki/features), and their status is available in the project wiki.

			## License
			The project is donated to the community. It comes with a very large freedom of use for everyone, and it will always be.
			It uses a [BSD 3 clauses](https://opensource.org/licenses/BSD-3-Clause) licensing schema, that allows free modification and inclusion in commercial software.


			## Project Structure
			The software is made by 2 main sub-components:
			* a C library with no (or minimal) external dependencies (the part you have to integrate in your software).
			* a license generator written in C++ (allows you to generate a license).
			* a C++ library with a nice C api, `licensecc` with minimal (or no) external dependencies (the part you have to integrate in your software).
			* a license generator open-license-manager `olm` that allows you to generate a license.

			these modules are planned....
			* a license [backoffice](../../issues/7) in php (in order to handle multiple licenses).
			* a license debugger to be sent to the final customer when there are licensing problems.
			* a [log decriptor](../../issues/8) in order to decrypt logs generated by the license system.
			* a [log descriptor](../../issues/8) in order to decrypt logs generated by the license system.

			You can notice 2 more sub-projects:
			* bootstrap: allows to generate private keys and modify the library on the fly after the downloading.
			* testing : runs the tests (and publish the results on cdash)

			Licensing
			=====================
			The project comes out with a very large freedom of use for everyone (and it will always be).
			It uses a BSD 3 clauses licensing schema.
			# How to build

			Elsewhere on Internet
			=====================
			* Wiki main page:
			* Install and build :
			* Project web site :

			Below an overview of the basic build procedure, you can find detailed instructions for each [supported environment](https://github.com/open-license-manager/open-license-manager/wiki/Build-the-library) in the wiki.

			## prerequisites
			* compilsers: GCC (Linux) MINGW (Linux cross compile for Windows), MINGW or MSVC (Windows)
			* tools/libs: cmake, boost. If target is linux openssl is necessary.

			```
			git clone https://github.com/open-license-manager/open-license-manager.git
			cd open-license-manager/
			mkdir build
			cd build
			```

			## on Linux
			```
			cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install
			make
			make install
			```

			## on Windows (with MSVC 2015)
			```
			cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT="{Folder where boost is}" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install
			cmake --build . --target install --config Release
			```

			## cross compile with MINGW on Linux
			```
			x86_64-w64-mingw32.static-cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install
			make
			make install
			```

			How to test
			===========

			## on Linux
			```
			make test
			```

			## on Windows (MSVC)
			```
			ctest -C Release
			```

			How to use
			==========

			This simple example shows how to integrate open-licence-manager into your project

			```
			$ cd example
			$ cmake .
			$ make
			$ ./example
			license ERROR :
			license file not found
			the pc signature is :
			Jaaa-aaaa-MG9F-ZhBB
			$ ../install/bin/license_generator example -s Jaaa-aaaa-MG9F-ZhBB -o example.lic
			$ ./example
			licence OK
			```
