- 0 – hardware lock disabled, i.e. unlimited number of activation.
- 1,2, … – sets the upper bound for the number of devices that can activate the license key.
When maximum number of machines is set to 0, machine codes will not be added to the list of activated machines. This means that if your code calls
Helpers.IsOnRightMachine()
, that call will fail. Please review this article for all the cases.Ways of restricting access
There are two ways you can restrict the number of machines that can use a license:- Node-locked: Either you restrict a license to a certain number of machines indefinitely (i.e. until they are deactivated)
- Floating: or you allow a license to “float” between different machines, as long as at any one point this upper bound of machines is never exceeded
Example
Suppose you want to allow a team of 5 people to use a license key that you’ve created. In that case, you simply setMachine Number of Machines
to 5.
