<br />

Question 1 - Can I modify the feature ID?<br />

If required, you can modify the feature ID assigned by the Toolkit. Specify a<br />

numeric value between 1 to 255 in the Feature ID text box. It must be<br />

unique for a license template.<br />

Question 2 - What is a code sketch?<br />

The code sketch is the protection plan generated by the Toolkit when a<br />

license template is built. It consists of an outline of the Business Layer API<br />

functions that you should incorporate in your source code. It is a good reference<br />

when you are not sure which API functions are relevant for your<br />

particular strategy.<br />

The code sketch is written into an HTML file present in the Toolkit working<br />

folder.<br />

It can be generated for the most-frequently used development languages.<br />

To view the code sketch, you can either click View under the Build Options<br />

tab, or navigate to the Toolkit working folder.<br />

Question 3 - Are there any API samples provided?<br />

Yes. Sample applications are provided that demonstrate various licensing<br />

models, such as lease and demos. These samples make use of Business Layer<br />

API functions, suitable for that licensing scheme.<br />
