+# Open License Manager
-An open license manager written in c++
+A copy protection, licensing software written in C++ for Windows and Linux (with a simple C api for use in C projects).

+
+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) that is the project you're currently in.
+* a license generator 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.
+
+# 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-win) in the wiki.
+
+## prerequisites
+* Operating system: Linux(Ubuntu, CentOS), Windows
+* compilers : GCC (Linux) MINGW (Linux cross compile for Windows), MINGW or MSVC (Windows)
+* tools : cmake(>3.6), 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 final `licensecc` library.
+
+For a complete list of dependencies and supported environments see [the wiki](https://github.com/open-license-manager/open-license-manager/wiki/Dependencies)
+
+Clone the project. It has submodules, don't forget the `--recursive` option.
+
+```
+git clone --recursive https://github.com/open-license-manager/open-license-manager.git
+cd open-license-manager/
+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
+```
+
