This example show how to integrate the licensing system if you already have downloaded, compiled and installed open-license-manager externally.

You can find the compilation instructions for Linux and Windows on the project website.

If you are brave and you want to compile and integrate all in one go refer to the submodule example.

steps

Compile and install (make install) open-license-manager. Let's call LCC_INSTALLATION_DIR the place where you installed open-license-manager, LCC_SOURCE_DIR the place where you download open-license-manager.

git clone https://github.com/open-license-manager/examples.git
cd examples/simple_pc_identifier
export LCC_INSTALLATION_DIR = ... #folder where you installed open-license-manager <sup>1</sup>
cd build 
cmake .. -Dlicensecc_DIR=$LCC_INSTALLATION_DIR/lib/cmake/licensecc
make
./example

the software should report some kind of license error (depending on the configuration of the library). To generate the missing license:

$LCC_INSTALLATION_DIR/bin/lccgen license issue -o example.lic --project-folder $LCC_SOURCE_DIR/projects/DEFAULT

LicenseCC not found ¹

Try to use an absolute path for INSTALLATION_DIR sometimes relative path doesn't work.

LicenseCC not found and LCC_PROJECT_NAME set

when you define LCC_PROJECT_NAME variable be sure to have a corresponding project in the open-license-manager (this means having compiled open-license-manager with the same setting).

Each project correspond to a software you want to add a license to. It includes a private/public key, and project settings: eg how to find licenses, and a compiled version of the library (that includes the public key).

If there is no correspondence between the project you declare and the projects in the library CMake can't find the licensecc library.

If unsure don't specify LCC_PROJECT_NAME at all. CMake scripts will set it right.
