 Posted: Thu Apr 23, 2009 3:26 pm Post subject: Web service/AuthenticatedLicense improvements |
 |
|
Hi
I'm evaluating ILS and I must say it's a very good product!
However, there are still a few feature I miss before I decide to buy:
1 - The ability to warn the user when he's left with the last activation
2 - The ability to retrive the demo expiration date from the web service (another user pointed out this in this forum some time ago)
3 - The ability to query the web service with something like "IsThisKeyValid", to check if the installed license was blacklisted or something similar.
As you can see, all of the features are releated to the AuthenticatedLicense mode, becase the other mode is almost perfect 
Thank you for your time |

Thanks for the feedback.

We could probably add a method to check the number of authentications left - so that if you wanted to implement this you can.

I'm not entirely sure what you mean? Can you point me to the original post?

Currently you just set the Authentication Limit to zero for blacklisted keys. This means they won't authenticate any more and the user receives an error telling them they have exceeded the allowed number of authentications. While we could add a separate method I'm not sure that it is worth while having the overhead of another call just to give a pirate a a different error message to this.

Version 4.4.0 of ILS has just been released and includes a new "RemainingAuthentications" method on the AuthenticationService class that your application can call, if required, to find out the number of authentications remaining for a given license key. Note that this method takes the authentication key (entered by the user) which is not stored by ILS. This means if you want to use this then you will probably need to modify or override the methods of the AuthenticatedLicenseInstallDialog.
