Question about multiple identification methods #124

Open ricardborras opened 3 years ago

ricardborras commented 3 years ago

Hi,

thanks for good work on this library. I have 2 cases where I would run to license my software:

Second case is needed because my customers install computers and identifies them by a text file in the filesystem. I have forked library and added this second case using a new strategy. In my license project, I have added this strategy.

The question is that I would like to generate a executable with some parameters to manage both cases. How to do it? In method acquire_license from the API I cannot change the strategy, and it seems that it returns 2 ids for the same computer.

Thanks,

Ricard

Hi Ricard,

Let me see if i understood your requirements: 1) if a file exists on the licensee computer use it to generate a pc identifier 2) if the file doesn't exist use the standard ETHERNET/DISK way to generate pc identifier. 3) when verify a license use the same method used to generate it.

Let me have a look to your branch this week-end

Hi,

yes, those were my requirements. Unfortunately, these requirements have changed and your library does not fit as good as before. I changed to another library

sorry for the inconvenience,

Ricard

@ricardborras Which other library are you using? I might have some common requirements with you.

ricardborras commented 3 years ago

Yes, I use this one:

https://github.com/amrayn/licensepp

It uses a more flexible approach for computer identification (basically, you have to provide it on your own) and you can add a custom payload to licenses, which is something i need

best,

Ricard

Hi Richard, Good you've found something that solves your problem. Custom payload is supported also in licensecc: http://open-license-manager.github.io/licensecc/usage/issue-licenses.html (see parameter extra-data) And you can implement your own signature generator: http://open-license-manager.github.io/licensecc/api/hardware_identifiers.html
