Getting the Remaining activations

Is it possible to use the custom license features to pass remaining activations back to my app?

e.g., if my user is licensed for 3 activations and they've used 1, I'd like to pop up a messageBox that shows them how many of the total available they've used when they activate or deactivate an instance.

Thanks,

You can't use custom license features, but you can use the Web API. For instance you could put a simple script on your website to get the total & remaining activations for a key.

A simple way to do this is:

  1. Get the product key using the TurboActivate function GetPKey().
  2. POST this to a script on your website.
  3. The script will then use limelm.pkey.getID to turn the product key to a usable ID, then use this ID to get the remaining activations using limelm.pkey.getDetails.

Tell me if this helps.

Thanks. I'll read up on the WebAPI.
