Hi there, I'm working on something where I could have a shared network directory for licenses for different machines; at the time of checking activation, I would basically search over all possible folders for a valid license, my code snippet is similar to below.
``` ta = TurboActivate(guid, TA_USER) hardware_address = uuid.getnode() license_root_folder = f"/root/licenses/{hardware_address}" if os.path.exists(license_root_folder): subfolders = os.listdir(license_root_folder) for s in subfolders: license_folder = os.path.join(license_root_folder, s) print('1') ta.set_custom_act_data_path(license_folder) print('2')
if is_license_genuine_and_activated(ta): if is_license_expired(ta): print(f"License from {license_folder} was expired.") continue execution(ta, args.port) else: print(f"No valid license from {license_folder}.")```What I did was basically I would search over a folder's subdirectories for valid license, with the call to `set_custom_act_data_path` for every subdirectory.
However, when I ran this, I got `TurboActivateInvalidHandleError` the first time it ran into `set_custom_act_data_path`, am I calling this right? What's the correct way to achieve my goal?
We talked on the phone. For anyone else: don't do this. Don't depend on internal details of TurboActivate. They've changed in the past. They'll change in the future. And we'll never give notice of the changes.
Only use the API. Don't use "things you found".
If you want centralized licenses, use the TurboFloat Server. That's what its designed for: https://wyday.com/limelm/help/turbofloat-server/
