LSettings::SetLicenseBuffer

#include "ltwrappr.h"

static L_INT LSettings::SetLicenseBuffer(pLicenseBuffer, nSize, pszDeveloperKey)

L_UCHAR * pLicenseBuffer;	/name of license file /
L_SSIZE_T nSize;	/* size of license buffer */
L_TCHAR * pszDeveloperKey;	/* key to unlock the feature */

Sets the runtime license for LEADTOOLS and unlocks support for optional features such as LEADTOOLS Imaging Pro, Document and Medical Imaging capabilities, or PDF support.

Parameter	Description
pLicenseBuffer	Pointer to a memory buffer that contains the entire LEADTOOLS runtime license.
nSize	The size, in bytes, of the buffer pointed to by pLicenseBuffer.
pszDeveloperKey	Character string containing the developer key.

Returns

SUCCESS	The function was successful.
< 0	An error occurred. Refer to Return Codes.

Comments

You must use this function to set the runtime license for LEADTOOLS and to unlock support for any optional features that you have licensed. If you do not set a runtime license, your application will display a "nag" message dialog at runtime, indicating that you have developed the application without a valid runtime license.

In order to obtain a runtime license and developer key, you must contact LEAD. For more information, refer to About LEADTOOLS Runtime Licenses.

For information about LEADTOOLS Document/Medical capabilities, contact LEAD.

To determine if support for optional features has been unlocked, use the LSettings::IsSupportLocked function.

To set the runtime license from a disk file instead of a memory buffer, use the LSettings::SetLicenseFile function
