			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 :smirk: . Among other features if it runs on a "real hardware" it can generate a signature of that hardware and report if the signature doesn't match.

			If you're experiencing problems, or you just need informations you can't find in the [documentation](http://open-license-manager.github.io/open-license-manager) please contact us on the [user forum](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/licensecc) (hosted on Google), we'll be happy to help.

			## 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:
			The software is made by 3 main sub-components:
			- a C++ library with a nice C api, `licensecc` with minimal (or no) external dependencies (the part you have to integrate in your software) that is the project you're currently in.
			- a license generator lcc-license-generator `lcc` for customizing the library and generate the licenses.
			- a license debugger `lcc-inspector` to be sent to the final customer when there are licensing problems or for calculating the pc hash before issuing the license.
			- a license generator (github project [lcc-license-generator](https://github.com/open-license-manager/lcc-license-generator)) `lccgen` for customizing the library and generate the licenses.

			The following 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.
			## How to build
			Below an overview of the basic build procedure, you can find detailed instructions for [Linux](http://open-license-manager.github.io/open-license-manager/development/Build-the-library.html)
			or [Windows](http://open-license-manager.github.io/open-license-manager/development/Build-the-library-windows.html) in the project web site.

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

			## Prerequisites
			### Prerequisites
			- Operating system: Linux(Ubuntu, CentOS), Windows
			- compilers : GCC (Linux) MINGW (Linux cross compile for Windows), MINGW or MSVC (Windows)
			- tools : cmake(>3.6), 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 final `licensecc` library.
