TurnKey Activation - Logic Flow Overview

A straightforward implementation of the software_DNA protection requires only a few blocks of codes that must be embedded in the software application and which interact with the DNA Library as well as one dialog screen to capture License Information from the User.

Each step is described in the following sections.

Many alternative implementations are possible. Several of these such as "Silent Evaluations" are described under the TurnKey Alternative Implementations     article.

You have full flexibility to decide what actions to take if any step is not successful. For example, if the application is not successfully activated:

• The application could stop executing
• The application could run in DEMO mode, and provide a Activate Now button or menu item
• The application could display a Evaluate button or menu item
• The Software could execute again the DNA_ProtectionOK() API call

For most of the API calls, you will use the <Product_Key> for your Product. The <Product_Key> is emailed to you when you create a Product Configuration in the DNA Control Panel and is available under Product Configuration in the DNA Product Control Panel.
