+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.

-** Warning! documentation outdated. We're in process of releasing the 2.0.0 verision that include a large update. Documentation still refers to 1.1.x series. In case of doubts look to .travis.yml file for hints on how to build the library. **
 
 ## 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. 
 
+If you plan to use the project or part of it consider showing us your appreciation placing a star here on github.
 ## 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 lcc-license-generator `lcc` for customizing the library and generate the licenses.
+-   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.
  
-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](https://github.com/open-license-manager/open-license-manager/wiki/Build-the-library) for your environment in the wiki. 
+## How to build
+Below an overview of the basic build procedure, you can find detailed instructions for [linux](https://github.com/open-license-manager/open-license-manager/wiki/Build-the-library) or [windows](https://github.com/open-license-manager/open-license-manager/wiki/Build-the-library-windows) in the wiki. 
 
-## prerequisites
-* 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.
+### Prerequisites
+-   Operating system: Linux(Ubuntu, CentOS), Windows
+-   compilers       : GCC (Linux) MINGW (Linux cross compile for Windows), MINGW or MSVC (Windows)

+-   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 final `licensecc` library.
