| | | The software is made by 4 main sub-components: |
|---|
| | | |
|---|
| | | * ``licensecc`` : the C++ library with a C api (the part you have to integrate in your software) with minimal (or no) external dependencies. |
|---|
| | | * ``licensecc`` : the C++ library with a C api (the part you have to integrate in your software) with minimal external dependencies. (github project `licensecc <https://github.com/open-license-manager/licensecc>`_ ) |
|---|
| | | * ``lccinspector`` : a license debugger to be sent to the final customer to diagnose licensing problems or for calculating the hardware id before issuing the license. |
|---|
| | | * ``lccgen`` : a license generator (github project `lcc-license-generator`_ ) to initialize the library and generate the licenses. |
|---|
| | | * ``examples`` : usage samples (github project `examples <https://github.com/open-license-manager/examples>`_ ). |
