LicenseSpring Python Library

Project description

LicenseSpring Python Library

The LicenseSpring Python Library provides convenient access to the LicenseSpring API from applications written in the Python language.

Installation

Install licensespring library:

pip install licensespring

Requires: Python >=3.7

Hardware (Device) IDs

This library provides preconfigured hardware identity providers:

  • HardwareIdProvider (default)
  • PlatformIdProvider

You can set the desired hardware identity provider when initializing the APIClient:

from licensespring.hardware import PlatformIdProvider

api_client = APIClient(api_key="_your_api_key_", shared_key="_your_shared_key_", hardware_id_provider=PlatformIdProvider)

It also supports their customization and creation of your own hardware id provider.

HardwareIdProvider

Uses uuid.getnode() to generate unique ID per device as described:

Get the hardware address as a 48-bit positive integer. The first time this runs, it may launch a separate program, which could be quite slow. If all attempts to obtain the hardware address fail, we choose a random 48-bit number with the multicast bit (least significant bit of the first octet) set to 1 as recommended in RFC 4122. “Hardware address” means the MAC address of a network interface. On a machine with multiple network interfaces, universally administered MAC addresses (i.e. where the second least significant bit of the first octet is unset) will be preferred over locally administered MAC addresses, but with no other ordering guarantees.

All of the methods exposed by HardwareIdProvider:

class HardwareIdProvider:
    def get_id(self):
        return str(uuid.getnode())

    def get_os_ver(self):
        return platform.platform()

    def get_hostname(self):
        return platform.node()

    def get_ip(self):
        return socket.gethostbyname(self.get_hostname())

    def get_is_vm(self):
        return False

    def get_vm_info(self):
        return None

    def get_mac_address(self):
        return ":".join(("%012X" % uuid.getnode())[i : i + 2] for i in range(0, 12, 2))

    def get_request_id(self):
        return str(uuid.uuid4())

PlatformIdProvider

Uses sys.platform and OS queries to find the raw GUID of the device.

Extends the HardwareIdProvider and overwrites only the get_id method:

class PlatformIdProvider(HardwareIdProvider):
    def get_id(self):
        id = None

        if sys.platform == 'darwin':
            id = execute("ioreg -d2 -c IOPlatformExpertDevice | awk -F\\\" '/IOPlatformUUID/{print $(NF-1)}'")

        if sys.platform == 'win32' or sys.platform == 'cygwin' or sys.platform == 'msys':
            id = read_win_registry('HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Cryptography', 'MachineGuid')
            if not id:
                id = execute('wmic csproduct get uuid').split('\n')[2].strip()

        if sys.platform.startswith('linux'):
            id = read_file('/var/lib/dbus/machine-id')
            if not id:
                id = read_file('/etc/machine-id')

        if sys.platform.startswith('openbsd') or sys.platform.startswith('freebsd'):
            id = read_file('/etc/hostid')
            if not id:
                id = execute('kenv -q smbios.system.uuid')

        if not id:
            id = super().get_id()

        return id

Customization

Extend any of the preconfigured hardware identity providers, overwrite the methods you want and provide it when initializing the APIClient:

class CustomHardwareIdProvider(HardwareIdProvider):
    def get_id(self):
        return "_my_id_"

api_client = APIClient(api_key="_your_api_key_", shared_key="_your_shared_key_", hardware_id_provider=CustomHardwareIdProvider)

Licensefile

Licensefile setup

To use licensefile inside a python SDK you should first setup your key and IV. Key and IV are used inside Python SDK for encryption and decryption process inside licensefile. For the first setup it is essenital to chose password and salt for key generation. This process is only required once at the setup.

from licensespring.licensefile.default_crypto import DefaultCryptoProvider

password = "YOUR_PASSWORD"
salt = "YOUR_SALT"


crypto = DefaultCryptoProvider()

key = crypto.derive_key(password=key_password,salt=key_salt)
iv = crypto.generate_random_iv()

Configuration Setup

After you have successfully setup your key and IV you should setup your Configuration.

from licensespring.licensefile.config import Configuration

conf = Configuration(product="your_product_short_code",
        api_key="your_api_key",
        shared_key="your_shared_key",
        file_key=key,
        file_iv=iv,
        hardware_id_provider=HardwareIdProvider,
        verify_license_signature=True,
        signature_verifier=SignatureVerifier,
        api_domain="api.licensespring.com",
        api_version="v4",
        filename="License",
        file_path=None,
        grace_period_conf=24)

  • api_version (str, optional): The version of the API to use for requests. This allows for compatibility with different versions of the licensing API. Defaults to "v4".
  • filename (str, optional): The default filename for saved license files. This can be customized as needed. Defaults to "License".
  • file_path (str, optional): The path where license files should be saved on the client system. If not specified, a default location is used.
  • grace_period_conf (int, optional): The number of hours to allow as a grace period for Defaults to 24 hours.
