Creat<strong>in</strong>g Custom Interfaces for<br />
License Central<br />
Once your application is f<strong>in</strong>ished and protected with <strong>CodeMeter</strong>, adm<strong>in</strong>istrators, accountants, product managers,<br />
and sales reps will all use License Central–either a little or a lot–to handle the sales and market<strong>in</strong>g. Each<br />
of those people has specific needs and tasks to perform with License Central. S<strong>in</strong>ce it is a web service, License<br />
Central can offer a customized user <strong>in</strong>terface to anyone who needs to use it. Read on to f<strong>in</strong>d out what options<br />
and methods you have to build custom user <strong>in</strong>terfaces <strong>in</strong> License Central.<br />
access<strong>in</strong>g License Central<br />
There are multiple ways to access License<br />
Central’s services, either directly or via backend<br />
automation. One way is via the standalone<br />
web front end that ships with the product. That<br />
<strong>in</strong>terface support the concept of roles, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
adm<strong>in</strong>s, sales users, and support users. The<br />
role determ<strong>in</strong>es what you can do. For example,<br />
adm<strong>in</strong> users can create users while sales users<br />
cannot create items. When you create a<br />
new user, you can specify as many different<br />
roles as you want; the user below has all roles<br />
(screenshot).<br />
adm<strong>in</strong> Interface<br />
The Adm<strong>in</strong> Interface is available as a readyto-use<br />
web <strong>in</strong>terface or alternatively as a web<br />
service. In most cases the software developer<br />
uses the web <strong>in</strong>terface to comb<strong>in</strong>e <strong>CodeMeter</strong><br />
User sett<strong>in</strong>gs<br />
properties with SKUs (stock keep<strong>in</strong>g units). Each<br />
time that Product Management decides to develop<br />
a new feature, the software developer<br />
has–of course–to implement the feature <strong>in</strong> the<br />
software. And the software developer configures<br />
the same product <strong>in</strong> <strong>CodeMeter</strong> License Central<br />
us<strong>in</strong>g Adm<strong>in</strong> Interface.<br />
If there are new license models–like time limited<br />
version, or network licenses–the software developer<br />
or the product manager generates new<br />
items with different license options.<br />
Controllers and support employees can also<br />
use the web <strong>in</strong>terface. However this is typically<br />
made possible by the web service <strong>in</strong>terface as<br />
an <strong>in</strong>tegrated solution <strong>in</strong>to the exist<strong>in</strong>g ERP system.<br />
This type of <strong>in</strong>tegration varies, depend<strong>in</strong>g<br />
on the exist<strong>in</strong>g system.
