Licensing

You need a subscription at lidecoder.com to generate licenses. When subscribing you can choose the base package without the MC Simulator, giving access to the following scripts:

lidecode
lishark

If you choose the premium subscription including the monitoring centre simulator you get access to the following scripts:

lidecode
lishark
liserver

Note that the load_ipsec_keys and lilicense scripts do not require a license to run.

Generate a license

You first need to install the package as in the installation section. Then, you need to get your unique machine key. To get this, open the lilicense GUI and click “Show Key” and “Start”, or from command line:

lilicense -k
The unique machine key is:
Z5LyvjMvnC3DY6ZxVMpKLQ==

Enter the machine key along with a password of your choosing at lidecoder.com/downloads.

The license will then appear and you can download it.

Installing your license

Run the lilicense GUI, choose the license file, and enter a password. Click start.

lilicense

Or to install from command line:

lilicense <license_file_name>.txt

You will be prompted to enter the password you entered in the previous section.

You can run the following command to prove that your application is now licensed:

lidecode 307ba13b80070400020205010e81083132333435363738a30ca00680044f50455282025553840100851232303139313230383231323534392e363931880102a23ca33aa13880070400020200010681083132333435363738a208a10680044f504552a319a017801232303139313230383231323534392e363931810100
