cnetlib-licensing-auth

A software licensing client and authority built using cnetlib

Example

A Windows client requesting license validation from a Google Cloud Platform Linux VM running the authority server

Usage

To request validation from a validation server at address validation_authority for a license contained in default file ./auth/license:

CN::AuthClient client = CN::AuthClient(); //Default port 5555
this->client.add_typespec_handler((CN::DataType)LicenseValid,[&](CN::UserMessage *msg) {
  gcutils::print("CLIENT License validated: ",msg->str());
});

//Message body contains reason for failure (invalid/reused key)
this->client.add_typespec_handler((CN::DataType)LicenseInvalid,[&](CN::UserMessage *msg) {
  gcutils::print("CLIENT License NOT validated: ",msg->str());
});
  
std::string validation_authority;
std::cin >> validation_authority;
client.validate(validation_authority);

To create a validation authority on port 5555 (default):

CN::AuthServer serv = CN::AuthServer(5555);
serv.start_listener();

std::string _wait;
std::cin >> _wait;
