Software Registration Steps

2022-05-18

Steps


[1] In terminal/console, run each app you want to register: __app__ --register


[2] Send us either the generated file(s) or the text indicated by the markers.

  • The numbers are hash values.
    • Original data (longer) cannot be restored from a hash (shorter).
    • Only on your specific OS instance these hash numbers have a meaning.
  • If you want to buy several licenses, you should keep track of which text corresponds to which computer. The clip-file-name should be enough for you to identify the right computer.

[2.1] For an "Academic" registration, send a proof that the computer will be used in Academic/Education environment.

[2.2] For an "Open-Source, Non-Profit" registration, send a proof that the computer will be used for Open-Source/Non-Profit activities.


[3] We will check the integrity of the registration text, to verify that the license can be generated and used on your computer.

  • You will receive the bill for the generated license-file.


[4] After the bill is paid (bank transfer only), you will receive the license files and install instructions.


[5] Copy the license file according to the instructions in the right place.

  • You can verify in terminal/console: __app__ --license

  • Each license-file will have the same file name and another extension, if there are no conflicts.

Examples

  • Example 1:

    • For the files __app_1-computer_name.register.txt __app_2-computer_name.register.txt

    • you will receive license-files named like this: __app_1-computer_name.lic __app_2-computer_name.lic

    • It is easy to know which license file corresponds to which computer.

  • Example 2:

    • For the files same_file_name.register.txt same_file_name.register.txt

    • you will receive license-files named like this, probably: same_file_name-1.lic same_file_name-2.lic

    • You will have to try to find which license file corresponds to which computer.
