Methods

Activate(String, ActivateModel)

This method will perform a key activation, similar to Activate [Web API 2]. In contrast to key validation, key activation is not read only since it can change license key data depending on configurations such as trial activation, etc. If trial activation is enabled, a key can be altered. Information that is retrieved can be signed by the server to be able to keep validate keys without Internet connection. Please keep in mind that the Feature lock can be used to restrict the fields that can be shown in the result (fieldsToReturn). More about this in Remarks. https://app.cryptolens.io/docs/api/v3/Activate

Declaration

public static KeyInfoResult Activate(string token, ActivateModel parameters)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	token	The access token. Read more at https://app.cryptolens.io/docs/api/v3/Auth
ActivateModel	parameters	The parameters that the method needs.

Returns

Type	Description
KeyInfoResult	A BasicResult or null.

Remarks

The feature lock value is used to store the filedsToReturn value. If you set a certain value in the feature lock, it will be prioritized higher than the fieldsToReturn parameter.
• To compute the value of the feature lock, please use the Hide column, for those fields that you want to omit in the result above.
• If the ActivatedMachines is hidden, only the current machine code will be included(used during this particular activation). Otherwise, all machine codes will be included.

Examples

Assuming that you've created a key in the SKM platform that has maximum number of machines set to anything greater than zero, we can run the following code:

var auth = "{access token with permission to access the activate method}"
var result = Key.Activate(token: auth, parameters: new ActivateModel()
{
    Key = "GEBNC-WZZJD-VJIHG-GCMVD",
    ProductId = 3349,
    Sign = true,
    MachineCode = SKGL.SKM.getMachineCode(SKGL.SKM.getSHA1);
});

if(result == null || result.Result == ResultType.Error)
{
    // an error occured or the key is invalid or it cannot be activated
    // (eg. the limit of activated devices was achieved)
}
// everything went fine if we are here!

Activate(String, Int32, String, String, Boolean, Int32, Int32, String, String)

This method is similar to Activate(String, ActivateModel) with the only exception that it will return a license key signed with the new protocol. Note: it's better to use this method, especially if you target Mono/Unity.
In order to get the license key, you can call FromResponse(String, RawResponse).

Declaration

public static RawResponse Activate(string token, int productId, string key, string machineCode = "", bool metadata = false, int floatingTimeInterval = 0, int maxOverdraft = 0, string OSInfo = null, string friendlyName = "")

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	token
System.Int32	productId
System.String	key
System.String	machineCode
System.Boolean	metadata
System.Int32	floatingTimeInterval
System.Int32	maxOverdraft
System.String	OSInfo
System.String	friendlyName

Returns

Type	Description
RawResponse

AddFeature(String, FeatureModel)

This method will change a given feature to be true (in a license). If the key algorithm in the product is SKGL, the key string will be changed if necessary. Otherwise, if SKM15 is used, the key will stay the same. If the key is changed, the new key will be stored in the message.

Declaration

public static BasicResult AddFeature(string token, FeatureModel parameters)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	token	The access token. Read more at https://app.cryptolens.io/docs/api/v3/Auth
FeatureModel	parameters	The parameters that the method needs.

Returns

Type	Description
BasicResult	A BasicResult object or null.

Remarks

This method may, in rare cases, return null if an error has occurred. Null should be seen as an unsuccessful result.

Examples

Here is an example that demonstrates the use of the method.

public void AddFeatureTest()
{
    var keydata = new FeatureModel() { Key = "LXWVI-HSJDU-CADTC-BAJGW", Feature = 2, ProductId = 3349 };
    var auth = new AuthDetails() { Token = "WyI2Iiwib3lFQjFGYk5pTHYrelhIK2pveWdReDdEMXd4ZDlQUFB3aGpCdTRxZiJd" };

    var result = SKM.AddFeature(auth, keydata);

    if (result != null && result.Result == ResultType.Success)
    {
        // feature 2 is set to true.
    }
    else
    {
        Assert.Fail();
    }
}

BlockKey(String, KeyLockModel)

This method will block a specific license key to ensure that the key cannot be accessible by most of the methods in the Web API (activation, validation, optional field, and deactivation).Note, blocking the key will still allow you to access the key in Web API 3, unless otherwise stated for a given Web API 3 method. To do the reverse, please see UnblockKey(String, KeyLockModel).

Declaration

public static BasicResult BlockKey(string token, KeyLockModel parameters)

Parameters

Type	Name	Description
System.String	token	The access token (https://app.cryptolens.io/User/AccessToken#/) with Block key permission.
KeyLockModel	parameters	The parameters that the method needs.

Returns

Type	Description
BasicResult	A BasicResult object or null.

Remarks

This method may, in rare cases, return null if an error has occurred. Null should be seen as an unsuccessful result.

ChangeCustomer(String, ChangeCustomerModel)

This method will change the customer associated with a license. If the customer is not specified (for example, if CustomerId=0) or the customer with the provided ID does not exist, any customer that was previously associated with the license will be dissociated.

Declaration

public static BasicResult ChangeCustomer(string token, ChangeCustomerModel parameters)

Parameters
