| | | 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 |

| | | ## 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: |
| | | The software is made by 3 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 generator lcc-license-generator `lcc` for customizing the library and generate the licenses. |
| | | - 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)) `lcc` for customizing the library and generate the licenses. |
| | | |
| | | The following 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. |
