Control Center - License Screen - Working with License Aliases
License Alias bundles together specific license type, license identifiers and some additional properties. License Alias concept provides a way to reference specific, pre-configured license settings by means of the Aliases' identifiers. This allows for further creation of the license with the predefined set of attributes where the created license is based on the selected license alias. License Aliases can be used in various areas including:
- Order parsing: where License Alias's concept would allow for the creation of the specific licenses which are based on the product identifier assigned by the E-Commerce store. In this case each product identifier should have the corresponding License Alias created prior to the first order parsing.
- Serial Numbers v2 support to allow for creation of the licenses according to the alias attribute encoded into Serial Number.
- License Shortcuts shown in the Shortcuts Side Bar to allow quick creation of the licenses with the predefined set of attributes.
License Aliases are stored in the products storage and can be maintained via Products Screen | "Edit | License Aliases" menu item.
Now, the new license could be generated either by:
- Order parsing: where a specific license is created based on the product identifier assigned by the E-Commerce store. Order parsing can be invoked via the "Edit | Parse Order", "Edit | Parse Order from Clipboard" menu items or by means of Drag&Drop of the textual order file into the license screen.
- Serial Number parsing: where a specific license is created based on the Serial Numbers v2 as the alias attribute is encoded into the Serial Number v2.
