Showing number of activations in-app

I want to show the user how many activations their license key has, and how many they are using. How can I do that without including the license key in the app?

I mean, without including the WebAPI key in the app.

Hey Chris,

You'd have to do this in a script on your website. So, the script would accept a product key as a parameter, on the script you'd use the web API to get the product key details (see: https://wyday.com/limelm/help/api/limelm.pkey.getDetails/), and then the script would return that to the calling program (your app).

This way the web API key is not in the app, and your users can see the up-to-the-minute usage of the product key.

Thanks. Got that working. But why is this done by pkey and not the actual product key which is what the app actually knows?

I'm not sure what the question is. Are you asking why you can't get that value directly in your app? Because the value changes (and an application is probably not the best place to display that value -- a web app is a better place, or some sort of online portal).

Thanks, I hadn't noticed

which is what I needed.

p.s. the PHP API could do with support for setting the format to json and nojsoncallback.

The next web API pack will have that.
