| | | it can generate a signature of that hardware and report if the signature doesn't match, because for instance |

| | | The software is made by 4 main sub-components: |

| | | |
|---|
| | | * ``licensecc`` : the C++ library with a C api (the part you have to integrate in your software) with minimal (or no) external dependencies. This is the project you're currently looking at. |
|---|
| | | * ``lccinspector`` : a license debugger to be sent to the final customer to diagnose licensing problems or for calculating the pc hash before issuing the license. |
|---|
| | | * ``lccgen`` : a license generator (github project `lcc-license-generator`_ ) to initialize the library and generate the licenses. |
|---|
| | | * ``examples`` : usage samples (github project `examples <https://github.com/open-license-manager/examples>`_ ). |

| | |
|---|
| | | * tools : Cmake(>3.6), git, make/ninja(linux) |
|---|
| | | * libraries : 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 final `licensecc` library. |
