SLiC (Stonefish License Creator) is a command-line tool for creating licenses compatible with the Stonefish License Manager (SLiM).

Install with

pip install stonefish-license-creator

Quickstart

• Make sure you have a valid license for Stonefish. (Trial licenses are available.)

• Have your private key ready. If you don't have a key pair yet, create one with, e.g.,

  slic create-random-keypair
  

  

• Create a license with

  slic create-license <your-input-file> <your-ed25519-private-key-hex>

  where <your-input-file> is a YAML- or JSON-formatted configuration file, e.g.,

  vendor:
    id: your-vendor-uuid # assigned to you
  
  product:
    id: your-product-uuid # set by you, e.g., `slic uuid`
    name: KewlPack
  
  user:
    id: user-uuid # set by you
    name: J. Doe # optional
    email: j.doe@example.com
  
  machines: # optional
    - name: prometheus # optional
      # fingerprints can be retrieved with `slic fp` or `slim fp`
      fingerprint: 914b7459c8db4229ac9ef9e5dbf2837e
  
  license:
    expiry: 2030-01-08T15:13:17Z # ISO 8601 datetime
    # expiry: P1Y  # or ISO 8601 duration, here: 1 year

• Your users can install the resulting key with the Stonefish License Manager via

  slim install <key-file>
  

• Add a key check somewhere in your software. For example:

  import stonefish_license_manager as slim
  
  # Throws a slim.LicenseError if no valid license is found:
  slim.slic.find_license_and_validate(
      vendor_id="<your-vendor-uuid>",
      product_id="<your-product-uuid>",
  )
