Member Function Documentation

generateExpiringKeyFile()

static String KeyGeneration::generateExpiringKeyFile ( const String &  appName, const String &  userEmail, const String &  userName, const String &  machineNumbers, const Time  expiryTime, const RSAKey &  privateKey  )

static

Similar to the above key file generation method but with an expiry time.

You must supply a Time after which this key file should no longer be considered as active.

N.B. when an app is unlocked with an expiring key file, OnlineUnlockStatus::isUnlocked will still return false. You must then check OnlineUnlockStatus::getExpiryTime to see if this expiring key file is still in date and act accordingly.

generateKeyFile()

static String KeyGeneration::generateKeyFile ( const String &  appName, const String &  userEmail, const String &  userName, const String &  machineNumbers, const RSAKey &  privateKey  )

static

Generates the content of a key-file which can be sent to a user's machine to unlock a product.

The returned value is a block of text containing an RSA-encoded block, followed by some human-readable details. If you pass this block of text to OnlineUnlockStatus::applyKeyFile(), it will decrypt it, and if the key matches and the machine numbers match, it will unlock that machine.

Typically the way you'd use this on a server would be to build a small executable that simply calls this method and prints the result, so that the webserver can use this as a reply to the product's auto-registration mechanism. The keyGenerationAppMain() function is an example of how to build such a function.

keyGenerationAppMain()

static int KeyGeneration::keyGenerationAppMain ( int  argc, char *  argv[]  )

inlinestatic

This is a simple implementation of a key-generator that you could easily wrap in a command-line main() function for use on your server.

So for example you might use this in a command line app called "unlocker" and then call it like this:

unlocker MyGreatApp Joe_Bloggs joebl.nosp@m.oggs.nosp@m.@foob.nosp@m.ar.c.nosp@m.om 1234abcd,95432ff 22d9aec92d986dd1,923ad49e9e7ff294c
