STAMP

STAMP is a Software License Management (SLM) software. SLM is the process of managing software licenses used throughout the organization from a single console. STAMP provides

1. a license key cutter executable (cutter.exe) to generate a valid license file,
2. a license management server executable (plmgrd.exe) to grant checkin/checkout license, and
3. a license management client library (libparipath.a) to request checkin/checkout license from clients over a network (private or internet) of machines.

1. Software License Cutter

License cutter executable (cutter.exe) adds an encryted key string for each feature requested in the input lincese request file. Check out documentation for the format of lincese request file.

2. License Management Server

The Lincese Management Server executable (plmgrd.exe) runs as a daemon on the server with information mentioned in the license file generated by Software Lincense Cutter. It monitors the server port for license check-in/check-out requests.

Software License Manager daemon is locked to run on the server machine with hostname, hostID and port-number and will refuse to run on other machines or other ports.

3. License Management Library

You as a software provider integrates Lincese Management Library (libparipath.a) and uses its APIs to request feature license check-in/check-out.
