When your customer purchases your app you can generate a product key with the number of activations they purchased. See: How to generate product keys after an order for pre-built examples. We recommend FastSpring because they have good support and it's relatively easy to use. But you can use any payment provider you want.
Where can I set the max activations/key in the Air Integration?
coneybeareI am trying to integrate LimeLM into an Adobe Air product. Where can I set the number of maximum activations that a user can get per key on this product? I see the option when manually adding a key on the website, but how can I do it through the app, automated?
Hmmm... am I misunderstanding activations? What I am after is that with 1 purchase (I am using fastspring to process orders) the customer should be allowed to use it on 3 machines. How can I achieve this?

In the "FastSpring-PHP-Code.txt" file that we talk about in "Automate license generation with FastSpring", modify this line
'num_acts' => $quantity,to look like this:
'num_acts' => $quantity * 3,This means for every license that a user purchases they'll get 3 activations. Does that make sense?
Yes, perfect sense. I must have missed that when scanning the file. Thanks! Just as confirmation, this 1 purchase counts as 3 activations in your system?
Yes.
An alternative to offering multiple activations per single purchase is to add the ability to deactivate in your app. That way if a customer wants to run your app on multiple computers they can deactivate one and activate on another. (Our example Adobe AIR app shows how to do this).
Unfortunately, my existing customer using Sharify licensing enjoyed 3 simultaneous activations, so I have triple the activations of customers. Any interest in giving a charity discount to Sharify migrators?

We'll think about it. My recommendation is to just drop the number of activations per customer to 1 (or rather, divide by 3).
Is Sharify closing? Their site looks the same as always (private beta).
Yes. They sent out a letter saying they were turning off the servers at the end of the month... not a ton of time. If you ran a nice Sharify -> LimeLM special right now, you could probably pickup a ton of business. I would write about it on my blog and tweet it out if you did.
That sounds like a good idea. Shoot me an email and we can work out a Sharify "Mass Migration" special. Email me at wyatt@wyday.com
Also, would you be willing to work with us so we can make a "1 click" migration from Sharify? None of here has a Sharify account so we'd have to use yours to work out the details.
