Extension points

Version 2.0 of the library comes with defined customization points.

API parameters, constants, defaults

The main configuration point is the file licensecc_properties.h in the project directory. This contains the default buffer sizes used in the API, environment variable names, default strategies behavior.

If one buffer isn’t large enough have a look here. You may find his definition here.

This file is generated when the project is initialized (every time you generate a new project), it is not under source control and it is for you to customize the library.

Tweak hardware signature generator

If the provided hardware signatures don’t behave well for your customers, or you want to change the default way the library generates the pc identifier you can have a look at the following section.

First of all be sure to read about the standard behavior of identify_pc() here:

• Customize hardware signature generators
  • PC Identifier generation workflow
  • Change the hardware identification strategy
  • Implement your own hardware signature generator
    • license::hw_identifier::IdentificationStrategy
