Before You Generate Licenses

Before you generate licenses for your customers, make sure that you have done the following:

>Planned the license models and properties: Make sure you have planned the license models and chosen the attributes you want to include in licenses.

>Obtained the customer computer fingerprints: Unless you choose an unlocked license, you may want to lock your application to a particular computer or the License Manager. To do so, you will need to determine the locking code of the computer based on its fingerprint. Your customers will use a utility (Wechoid or echoid) or any customized option you provide them to determine the computer locking code. They will then give the locking code to you for generating license codes. This needs to be done before you generate the license code. Refer to License Locking Criteria for details.

>Attached the License Meter Key: To generate license codes, you must have a license meter key installed on the computer on which you are going to run the license code generator. You will only be able to run the license code generator if you received a license meter key from Thales. To install the license meter key, refer to Attaching License Meter Key for details.
