			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 lcc-license-generator `lcc` for customizing the library and generate the licenses.

			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 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)

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

			## prerequisites
			GCC (Linux), MINGW or MSVC (Windows)
			cmake, boost, openssl (Linux/MINGW), you can find detailed instruction for each [supported environment](https://github.com/open-license-manager/open-license-manager/wiki/Build-and-install---Linux) in the wiki. Below an overview of the basic build procedure:
			* compilers: GCC (Linux) MINGW (Linux cross compile for Windows), MINGW or MSVC (Windows)
			* tools : cmake, git, make/ninja(linux)
			* libs : If target is linux Openssl is required. Windows depends only on system libraries. Boost is necessary to build license generator and to run the tests but it's NOT a dependency of the `licensecc` library.
