Customizing activation keys

By default, the web application generates activation keys that can be hardware-locked or not, but they have no specific limitation such as expiration date, nag screen and so on.

If you want, you can configure your web application to add such limitations to generated activation keys (please refer to the Activation Keys documentation about how these limitations work).

  1. Navigate to the inc\app\controllers subfolder (xlspadlock-onlineact / inc / app / controllers) and edit the MainController.php file stored on your server.

  2. The generatekey() call is in the getactivation() function of MainController.php (near line 45). The adjustable parameters (hardware locking, max runs, max days, expiration date, nag screen) are defined in the generatekey() method in Controller.php (near line 170). Please refer to the explanations in the code about them.

  3. Save the modifications to the MainController.php file.
