NoesisGUI Licensing
Since version 3.0, a product key is required to verify that a valid license of NoesisGUI was acquired. NoesisGUI keys consist of a series of numbers and letters associated with a username. This information is delivered when buying a license of NoesisGUI or when requesting a trial. The rest of the document will assume you already have a valid key similar to this one:
NAME: Globex Corporation
KEY : 0KrZJjrt2SYwlUcIzZMGor47iaWruwED83qFJSQR9QXgAKqQ
The way this key is applied depends on the SDK and technology being used. The following sections describe each possible scenario.
C++ SDK
If NoesisGUI is being used without our Application Framework, the license must be passed at Init time. For example:
Noesis::GUI::Init("Globex Corporation", "0KrZJjrt2SYwlUcIzZMGor47iaWruwED83qFJSQR9QXgAKqQ");
When using the Application Framework, license is set in preprocessor macros NS_LICENSE_NAME and NS_LICENSE_KEY. These macros must be defined globally in your project. They can also be set in the header 'NoesisLicense.h' that can be found in '$(SDK_ROOT)/Include'.
// NS_LICENSE_NAME and NS_LICENSE_KEY must be replaced with values your were given when purchasing
// your Noesis license. If you don't want to modify this file (it will be overwritten with each new
// version) you can globally define NS_LICENSE_NAME and NS_LICENSE_KEY in your project.
#define NS_LICENSE_NAME "Globex Corporation"
#define NS_LICENSE_KEY "0KrZJjrt2SYwlUcIzZMGor47iaWruwED83qFJSQR9QXgAKqQ"
C# SDK
If NoesisGUI is being used without our Application Framework, the license must be passed at Init time. For example:
Noesis.GUI.Init("Globex Corporation", "0KrZJjrt2SYwlUcIzZMGor47iaWruwED83qFJSQR9QXgAKqQ");
When using the Application Framework, license is passed in a text file, 'NoesisLicense.txt', that is embedded into the application. In our examples, this file is located at '$(SDK_ROOT)/Src/NoesisLicense.txt'.
