The gen_key tool generates a license key based on
your plugin name (which must match the plugin name entered in the
plugin.db file), an expiration date, and a customer
ID (so that you can give different license keys to different customers).
You can specify an expiration date of 0 which means that the plugin
never expires.
First, cd to the sdk/tools
directory in your SDK package.
Then, enter the following:
gen_key plugin_name ID expiration
plugin_name is the name of the
plugin; it needs to match the name specified in
plugin.db
ID is a string of 5 alphanumeric characters,
used to identify different customers
expiration is the expiration date of the
plugin in the following format:
mmddyyyy
For example: you should enter 03312001 for March 31, 2001. To indicate no expiration, use
0.
