Product Features are on/off toggles that can be embedded in a license key. Features are ideal for add-on modules that your customers may optionally purchase.
To define features, click on Define Products, select a product, and add your features.
You can embed up to 32 features in a license key. Features are divided into 4 sets with 8 features per set.
A feature is uniquely identified by its Feature Set and Feature ID. Each feature that you create is assigned a unique combination of feature set/feature ID.
Feature Sets can have the following values: 0, 1,2, 3
Feature IDs are designed to be bitwise-friendly. The possible values of a Feature ID are: 1 | 2 | 4 | 8 | 16 | 32 | 64 | 128
You can generate license keys with embedded features in several ways:
- In the QLM Management Console, when creating an Activation Key
- Using the QLM API CreateActivationKeyEx (or one of its variants)
- From the QLM Portal
To verify if a feature is enabled in your code, use the IsFeatureEnabledEx API. The sample located in %Public%\Documents\Quick License Manager\Samples\qlmpro\Windows\DotNet\C#\QlmWizardExeSample demonstrates how to verify if a feature is enabled in your code.
