Hello,
We are now shipping our product with LimeLM. All appears to working well.
Now I need to deal with the existing customer base who are using our old licensing system.I have read the article with your suggestions and I have a few questions.
The vendor for our product has created a spreadsheet that contains the following information:Customer Name, Customer Email1, Optional Email2, Product Version.There are 7000+ entries.
I am planning on writing a program that will parse the data and Create product keys for the existing customers.The program will also generate emails for the customers.
Are there any issues with your servers that will cause problems if I run this program ?Should I pace the API requests over a long period of time ?
Thanks,Paul
You'd be better off using our import page in your LimeLM dashboard. Just export your old data in a CSV file and you can then import the product keys using our new importer form. There's a link to it in the version you want to import the keys to:

Just click the "Import product keys" link and follow the instructions (choosing the fields you ant to import to, etc.).
I would love to use the export function except it won't work for us.Our old licensing system was based on license files.The user would send the vendor an X509 signed license request file,and the vendor would send back an X509 signed license response file.This was done on a variety of machines over a number of years so it's unlikely we can recover enough information from the logs to generate the right set of keys.There was no server integration.-Paul
