| | | 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 |
| | |
| | | |
| | | ## 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 (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 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) |

| | | How to build |
| | | ============ |
| | | |
| | | 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. |

| | | 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 |
| | | * compilsers: GCC (Linux), MINGW or MSVC (Windows) |
| | | * tools/libs: cmake, boost, openssl (Linux/MINGW). |
| | | * 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. |

| | | # How to contribute |
| | | The project is not dead but we take our time to answer. The best interaction you can have with us is through the issue system. Have a look to the [contribution guidelines](blob/develop/CONTRIBUTING.md) |
| | | We use [GitFlow](https://datasift.github.io/gitflow/IntroducingGitFlow.html) (or at least a subset of it). Remember to install the gitflow git plugin and use `develop` as default branch for your pull requests. |
