Activating a License

Activating a License

The ActivateLicense.php file allows you to activate a license for a specific domain or device, securely communicating with the SLM Plus API. This guide will walk you through configuring and using ActivateLicense.php to manage license activation.

Prerequisites

• Ensure CoreConfig.php is configured with your API URL and secret key.
• Confirm that LicenseAPI.php is included in your project, as it provides the core method for activating licenses.

How to Use ActivateLicense.php

Step 1: Set Up the Activation Data

1. Open ActivateLicense.php.

2. Define the activation data as an associative array. Here’s an example of required fields:

   $activationData = [ 'license_key' => 'YOUR_LICENSE_KEY', // The license key to activate 'registered_domain' => 'example.com', // Domain to associate with the license 'registered_devices' => 'Device12345' // Optional: Device identifier ];

   Adjust these fields based on the specific domain or device information you want to activate.

Step 2: Call the activate Method

1. Instantiate ActivateLicense.

2. Call the activate() method with the $activationData array. Here’s how:

   require_once 'ActivateLicense.php';

   $activateLicense = new ActivateLicense(); $activateLicense->activate($activationData);

   This sends a request to activate the license on the specified domain and/or device.

Step 3: Handle the Response

ActivateLicense.php provides a response indicating the success or failure of the activation attempt. Here’s what to expect:

• Success: If activation is successful, you’ll see a message confirming activation for the specified domain and/or device.
• Error: If there’s an issue (e.g., maximum allowed domains or devices reached), an error message will be displayed.

Example Usage

Below is a complete example of using ActivateLicense.php to activate a license:

require_once 'ActivateLicense.php';

$activationData = [ 'license_key' => 'YOUR_LICENSE_KEY', 'registered_domain' => 'example.com', 'registered_devices' => 'Device12345' ];

$activateLicense = new ActivateLicense(); $activateLicense->activate($activationData);

Activation Error Handling

The ActivateLicense.php script includes specific error handling to cover scenarios like:

• Expired License: Notifies the user if the license is expired.
• Blocked License: Alerts the user if the license is blocked.
• Max Domains or Devices Reached: Provides a message if the license has reached its allowed limit of domains or devices.

For detailed response handling, review the code in ActivateLicense.php.
