Use fixed field lengths when possible for more efficient matches.
Use '+' or a range {n,m} where possible rather than '*'. The '*' range can match "no data" and
may result in more mis-reads.
Automated Licensing
The automated licensing capability simplifies setting of license registration keys. When the user
attempts to connect a session, a license file can be queried to provide the license registration
key. This license file can reside locally on the device or on any web server. It is referenced using
a URL configured in our application. CETerm will only query the license file if the device is
currently un-licensed and if a URL has been specified in the CETerm configuration.
The license URL is saved with all other CETerm configuration variables. If a master configuration
is created from this device, then all cloned devices will request their key on their first connection
attempt. The license URL may also be specified directly in a registry value that is preloaded into
the device during a cold-boot restore or from a generic default configuration package.
In the simplest case, the URL refers to a license.xml file, which is a static XML page that can be
returned by any web server. The XML is parsed to extract the key. Here is a sample of the XML
document:
