| | | Linux |
| | | =================== |
| | | A copy protection, licensing software written in C++ for Windows and Linux (with a simple C api for use in C projects). |
| | | |
| | | apt-get install libcrypto++dev (version 5.6.1) |
| | | libboost-dev libboost-filesystem-dev |
| | | libboost-program-options-dev libboost-test-dev libboost-date-time-dev |
| | | libssl-dev? |
| | | 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 :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 a nice C api, `licensecc` with minimal (or no) external dependencies (the part you have to integrate in your software). |
| | | * a license generator open-license-manager `olm` that allows you to generate a license. |
| | | |
| | | 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. |
| | | |
| | | # 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. |
| | | |
| | | ## prerequisites |
| | | * compilsers: GCC (Linux) MINGW (Linux cross compile for Windows), MINGW or MSVC (Windows) |
| | | * tools/libs: cmake, boost. If target is linux openssl is necessary. |
| | | |
| | | ``` |
| | | git clone https://github.com/open-license-manager/open-license-manager.git |
| | | cd open-license-manager/ |
| | | mkdir build |
| | | cd build |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ## on Linux |
| | | ``` |
| | | cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install |
| | | make |
| | | make install |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ## on Windows (with MSVC 2015) |
| | | ``` |
| | | cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -DBOOST_ROOT="{Folder where boost is}" -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install |
| | | cmake --build . --target install --config Release |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ## cross compile with MINGW on Linux |
| | | ``` |
| | | x86_64-w64-mingw32.static-cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../install |
| | | make |
| | | make install |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | How to test |
| | | =========== |
| | | |
| | | ## on Linux |
| | | ``` |
| | | make test |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | ## on Windows (MSVC) |
| | | ``` |
| | | ctest -C Release |
| | | ``` |
| | | |
| | | How to use |
| | | ========== |
| | | |
| | | This simple example shows how to integrate open-licence-manager into your project |
| | | |
| | | ``` |
| | | $ cd example |
| | | $ cmake . |
| | | $ make |
| | | $ ./example |
| | | license ERROR : |
| | | license file not found |
| | | the pc signature is : |
| | | Jaaa-aaaa-MG9F-ZhBB |
| | | $ ../install/bin/license_generator example -s Jaaa-aaaa-MG9F-ZhBB -o example.lic |
| | | $ ./example |
| | | licence OK |
| | | ``` |
