It's an open source (Apache license) tiny (only 14KB) license framework in Java, with zero dependencies and a quick learning curve.
LicenseManager licenseManager = LicenseManager.getInstance();
License license = licenseManager.getLicense();
licenseManager.isValidLicense(license);In private.key file exists the private key used to create the license.
In public.key file exists the public key used to validate the license.
The public key (public.key) is delivered with your application jar.
To create a new license, you must create a template file (template.dat) that contains all license's components
and to run LicenseTool.
If the private key or the public key doesn't exists then Licensius will create these files for you.
The license will be a license.dat file.
By default Licensius using DSA algorithm (the key length in bits is 1024) for generating keys (private and public).
Licensius uses X509EncodedKeySpec to encode the public key and PKCS8EncodedKeySpec to encode the private key. Both public.key file and private.key file are binaries.
In example folder you have an example for license template (input) and and its associated license (output).
The content for template.dat can be (see example folder):
expirationDate=9/12/2020
companyName=HomeOffice
emailAddress[email protected]In this case the content for license.dat (the license) is:
#License file
#Fri Feb 13 14:57:14 EET 2015
expirationDate=9/12/2020
companyName=HomeOffice
emailAddress[email protected]
signature=MCwCFBEzxwxCPSrWwYj1lsfyDDMKEhMmAhRtDi2klZeDojMK3HBF7xaC3OBj9A\=\=In your pom.xml you must define the dependencies to Licensius artifacts with:
<dependency>
<groupId>ro.fortsoft.licensius</groupId>
<artifactId>licensius</artifactId>
<version>${licensius.version}</version>
</dependency> where ${licensius.version} is the last licensius version.
You may want to check for the latest released version using Maven Search
Requirements:
- Git
- JDK 7 (test with
java -version) - Apache Maven 3 (test with
mvn -version)
Steps:
- create a local clone of this repository (with
git clone https://github.com/decebals/licensius.git) - go to project's folder (with
cd licensius) - build the artifacts (with
mvn clean packageormvn clean install)
After above steps a folder licensius/target is created and all goodies are in that folder.
Licensius will be maintained under the Semantic Versioning guidelines as much as possible.
Releases will be numbered with the follow format:
<major>.<minor>.<patch>
And constructed with the following guidelines:
- Breaking backward compatibility bumps the major
- New additions without breaking backward compatibility bumps the minor
- Bug fixes and misc changes bump the patch
