Generating C2V Files and Fingerprint Files

When working with cloud licensing, you can use the AdminApi.adminGetmethod to generate a C2V file or a fingerprint file for the vendor-hosted cloud license server for:

>Retrieving a fingerprint of the machine.

>Retrieving the status of SL keys on the machine.

This functionality can be used:

> to generate a new SL key or update an existing SL key on the vendor's license server.

>to programmatically generate a client fingerprint without requiring the use of a vendor code.

The following format demonstrates how you perform these functions:

In sntl_admin_status_t SNTL_ADMIN_CALLCONV sntl_admin_get(
sntl_admin_context_t * admin_context,
const char * scope,
const char * format,
char ** info
);

Use the <c2v_file> tag to return a c2v file with a format parameter :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<admin>
  <hasp>
    <element name="c2v_file" />
  </hasp>
</admin>

Use the <fingerprint_file> tag to return a fingerprint with the format parameter :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<admin>
  <license_manager>
    <element name="fingerprint_file" />
  </license_manager>
</admin>

To return an SL UserMode fingerprint, the vendor ID should be specified in the scope. Otherwise the function returns an SL AdminMode fingerprint.

To return a DEMOMA current state, the vendor ID should be specified in the scope. Otherwise the function returns current state with any vendor code. For example, to return a current state with the DEMOMA vendor code, set the scope as follows:

<haspscope>
  <vendor id="37515" />
</haspscope>
