GuancheMOS is compatible with applications developed with Xojo and compiled for macOS X (32 bits/64 bits), Windows (32 bits/64 bits), Linux (32 bits/64 bits) and Web executables, both Desktop and Console deployments. (Contact with me if you need a plug-in version able to compile with previous REAL Studio versions of modifications/customized licensing schemes for your products.)

GuancheMOS allows Xojo Macintosh, Windows, Linux and Web developers to include in their applications the ability to generate and validate unique serial numbers or license keys with a minimum effort and a minimum footprint in their final executables.

By using this plug-in, Xojo developers can create their own apps for the automated assignment and control of serial numbers in a per-application basis. Of course the main purpose of GuancheMOS is the integration of the serial validation process in the final apps with the simple call to a function.

Please, note that GuancheMOS is a commercial product. Registered users of GuancheMOS will be able to use this plug-in in all their applications without pay additional fees.

This is the plug-in that you must drop into your Xojo > Plug-ins folder in order to use its features in your own developments.

This is the source code project of a bare-bones Xojo application that tests the installation, generation and validation of serial number features. Please, note that this application is a test plug-in one, and that was not designed for production use. Probably you will want to create your own creation/validation application with additional features.

In demo mode GuancheMOS only allows 3 serial number/licenses generation per session, and the validation feature is disabled. This demo should give you a good taste about how easy it is to use and implement the solution into your own Xojo projects.

GuancheMOS is integrated in the Xojo development IDE as an additional Module (GuancheMOS) offering a total of four methods. That’s all, very easy and fast to use and implement in your own developments:

• Create( platform, name, seed1, seed2 ) as string
• Validate( platform, name, seed1, seed2, license) as boolean
• CheckWithLicense( platform, name, seed1, seed2, license, nameoflicense, previousGuancheMOS license,mode) as boolean
• Register( mode, name, license)

This is the method responsible of registering GuancheMOS with the license key provided by AprendeXojo. Otherwise the plug-in will work in Demo Mode.

Note: Be sure to register the plug-in as soon as possible during the execution of your code or before using the Create or Validate methods. For example, the Open Event of the App class is a good place. Otherwise the GuancheMOS code will run in Demo Mode.

Please, to avoid that other people could extract your personal license data, and abuse it witch may take you in trouble, try to hide the “name” and “license” strings inside your application.
