License Screen - Parsing Orders

License order parsing allows extracting license and customer information directly from the order notification received from online E-Commerce stores like the element-5. License Order Parsing is designed to reduce efforts and to eliminate errors during the license generation and re-entering customer details from the original order confirmation.

To enable this functionality an appropriate License Alias must be created for each particular product listed in the online store. The License Alias "ID" must correspond to the product id from the online store. Order parsing can be invoked via the "Edit | Parse Order" or "Edit | Parse Order from Clipboard" menu items. Additionally Protection! provides the developer/publisher with the ability to parse received order files via Drag&Drop. If the dropped file is not recognized as a valid order then the developer/publisher will be prompted with the pop-up menu allowing the developer/publisher to choose whether the dropped file should be processed as a license or as an order.

By default only the critical messages are shown during the order parsing process. However, it is possible to show messages for any low priority issues via the "Options | Warn on Any Order Parse Error" menu item.

Bellow is an example of the textual order notification which could be parsed by Protection! Control Center. Note: If your current order structure is not yet supported by Protection! order parsing functionality and you would like Protection!'s assistance in order parsing, then you can modify your current order to fit the generic format outlined bellow and then supply it to Protection! for automated parsing.

Generic License  Order#
__________________________

In this format the following tags are very important:

  1. The "Product" tag specifies License Alias that corresponds to the license has been sold.
  2. The "#Generic License Order#" tag specifies name of the generic format.

All the generic tags should have exactly the same names as stated above e.g.
"Product =" but can be placed in a different order.

Note: currently only the element-5 and the share-it! Textual Order Notification formats are supported; more formats will be available in the future.
