## Project Structure
The software is made by 4 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 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.
-   examples projecs
-   Usage [examples](https://github.com/open-license-manager/examples) to simplify the integration in your project.
