QlmFloatingLicenseMgr.StoreFloatingLicenseLocation

Stores the location of the floating license database on the end user system and returns an error message in case of failure. To read the location, use the ReadFloatingLicenseLocation API. To clear the stored information, use the DeleteKeys API.

C#:    StoreFloatingLicenseLocation(string floatingLicenseDbPath, out bool userLevelResult, out bool machineLevelResult, out string errorMessage)

Parameters

• floatingLicenseDbPath- full path (in UNC format) to the floating license database.
• userLevelResult- returned boolean value indicating whether the operation was successful at the user level.
• machineLevelResult- returned boolean value indicating whether the operation was successful at the machine level.
• errorMessage- returned error message containing details about the failure, if any.

StoreFloatingLicenseLocation returns true if either the user level or the machine level operation is successful.

Description

QLM stores its data in two locations: one location at the user level and another location at the machine level. The StoreKeysOptions property controls where data is stored.

Additionally, the StoreKeysLocation property controls whether data is stored on the file system or in the registry.

On the file system, data is stored in the following folders:

C:\ProgramData\IsolatedStorage
C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\IsolatedStorage

Example:
C:\ProgramData\IsolatedStorage\1zy03lmk.jql\epxur3qn.na0\StrongName.gziza0ait44cgjtqq2fgdpi3yp0idvio\AssemFiles

Under these folders, a file whose name is the GUID associated to your product (GUID in Define Products page) is created and contains the license keys.

Data in the registry

When QlmLicense.StoreKeysLocation is set to EStoreKeysTo.ERegistry, QLM tries to stores the keys in 2 registry hives, one hive at the user level and one hive at the machine level.

On a 32 bit OS, QLM will write license information to:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\[GUID]
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\[GUID]

On a 64 bit OS, QLM will write license information to:

• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\CLSID\[GUID]
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\CLSID\[GUID]
• HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\[GUID]
• HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Wow6432Node\Classes\CLSID\[GUID]
