A Customer Secret can be thought of as a “password” that you can send to your clients so that they can access their licenses without first creating a Cryptolens account.
At the time of writing, it is possible to use Get Customer Licenses and provide the Customer Secret to obtain all the licenses that are associated with that customer. For example, this can be useful if your clients have licenses to multiple products, so that they do not need to remember all of their license keys, just the Customer Secret. You can then extract the right license within your application.
By default, the customer secret will be in the form of a GUID, for example: 6dffda95-05cb-4754-bb49-c4a0be6ea647
.
If you prefer to have shorter customer secrets that resemble a license key, i.e., WPIGP-UPHHT-INUYJ-MSDTJ
, you can change that as follows:
cryptolens_customer_secret
and IntValue set to 2
.From now on, all customer secrets will resemble the license key format.
Please note that we do not check if other customers have the same customer secret, since the likelihood of a collision is practically zero. However, if it this would occur, you would receive A customer with the same secret exists.
when calling Get Customer Licenses By Secret, we would suggest to do the following:
