| | | # Open License Manager |
| | | [](https://travis-ci.org/open-license-manager/open-license-manager) |
| | | [](http://github.com/badges/stability-badges) |
| | | |
| | | A lincense manager written in C/C++ for Windows and Linux environments. |
| | | A copy protection, licensing software written in C/C++ for Windows and Linux. |
| | | |
| | | 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. |
| | | virtualized environments. It is an Open License Manager that helps to keep your |
| | | 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 the inclusion in commercial software. |
| | | |
| | | |
| | | ## Project Structure |
| | | |
| | | The software is made by 2 main sub-components: |
| | | * a C library with no external dependencies (the part you have to integrate in your software). |
| | | * 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). |
| | | |
| | | these are planned.... |
| | | * a license backoffice in php (in order to handle multiple 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 decriptor in order to decript 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) |
