Note that QLM support for .NET Core is currently in Beta. It will be officially released in Sept 2019 when .NET Core 3 will be released.
Please contact us to request access to the Beta release.
To protect a .NET Core app with QLM:
- Download the QLM .NET Core library (QlmLicenseLibNetCore.dll)
- In your .NET Core project:
- Add a reference to QlmLicenseLibNetCore.dll
- Add the following nuget packages:
- System.Private.ServiceModel
- System.Security.Cryptography.Xml
- System.ServiceModel.Http
- From the QLM Management Console, generate a LicenseValidator class (C#)
- Add the LicenseValidator class your .NET Core project
- When your application is loaded, call the LicenseValidator.ValidateLicenseAtStartup function as shown in the code below (this is similar to a regular .NET 4.x project)
{% code overflow="wrap" %}
ELicenseBinding licenseBinding = ELicenseBinding.ComputerName;
if (lv.ValidateLicenseAtStartup(licenseBinding, ref needsActivation, ref errorMsg) == false)
{
DisplayLicenseForm();
if (lv.ValidateLicenseAtStartup(licenseBinding, ref needsActivation, ref errorMsg) == false)
{
Environment.Exit(0);
}
}
private int DisplayLicenseForm()
{
string errorMessage;
if (lv.QlmLicenseObject.ValidateSettingsFile(settingsFile, out errorMessage) == false)
{
MessageBox.Show(this, errorMessage, "QLM", MessageBoxButtons.OK, MessageBoxIcon.Error);
return 0;
}
string args = String.Format("/settings \"{0}\"", settingsFile);
int ret = lv.QlmLicenseObject.LaunchProcess(wizardExe, args, true, true);
return ret;
}
{% endcode %}
