Custom Activation - Location of the CDM License file

The CDM License File is a small encrypted and signed file containing key license information, which is stored and locked to the User's computer.

This location must be accesible by all users and must be Read/Write for all users of the application on the target computer. The recommended location of the CDM license file depends on the OS (Windows, Mac, Linux or Android).
See Location of CDM File     for our recommendations.

Set the location of the CDM License file

As the first API Call in your App, set the location of the CDM License file with either of the following:

• DNA_SetProperties("CDMPathName",<pathName>) (recommended with Version 6 and above)
• DNA_SetCDMPathName(<pathName>) (supported for backward compatibility)

Set other DNA Properties (Version 6 and above)

The following properties can be set with DNA Properties:

• CDMPathName
