Customize hardware signature generators

Change the hardware identification strategy

Included with the library there are three hardware identification strategies: IP_ADDRESS, STRATEGY_ETHERNET (mac address) and STRATEGY_DISK (partition serial number). If you want to change the strategy that is used to generate the default identifier:

  • locate the file licensecc_properties.h` (usually in projects/<$project_name>/include/licensecc/<$project_name>

  • you can change the order of the strategies in the following code block (the strategies will be tried in sequence until the first one succeeds):


#define LCC_BARE_TO_METAL_STRATEGIES { STRATEGY_DISK, STRATEGY_ETHERNET, STRATEGY_NONE } #define LCC_VM_STRATEGIES { STRATEGY_ETHERNET, STRATEGY_NONE } #define LCC_LXC_STRATEGIES { STRATEGY_ETHERNET, STRATEGY_NONE } #define LCC_DOCKER_STRATEGIES { STRATEGY_NONE } #define LCC_CLOUD_STRATEGIES { STRATEGY_NONE }

Implement your own hardware signature generator
