Zoo plugin with License Key

Hi,

I’m attempting to create a super simple licensing option: I just want the user to type in a licensing key.

I tried following Creating Plugins that use the LAN Zoo with C#

Here is what I’m trying:

       protected ValidateResult MyValidateProductKey(string productKey, out LicenseData licenseData) {
            if (productKey == "hello123") { 
                licenseData = new LicenseData() { BuildType = LicenseBuildType.Beta, LicenseTitle = "heres a license" };
                return ValidateResult.Success;
            }
            licenseData = new LicenseData() { BuildType = LicenseBuildType.Beta, LicenseTitle = "heres a license", ErrorMessage = "Invalid License Key." };
            return ValidateResult.ErrorShowMessage;
        }

        protected void MyOnLeaseChangedDelegate(LicenseLeaseChangedEventArgs args, out System.Drawing.Icon icon) {
            icon = new System.Drawing.Icon(PathStykkaIcon);
        }

        protected override LoadReturnCode OnLoad(ref string errorMessage)
        {
            // Check for a license
            var valid = GetLicense(LicenseCapabilities.CanBeSpecified,"CCCCCCCCCCCCC", MyValidateProductKey, MyOnLeaseChangedDelegate);

            if (valid) {
                // Plugin Specific stuff here.
                return base.OnLoad(ref errorMessage);
            } else {
                errorMessage = "Could not locate a valid license.";
                return LoadReturnCode.ErrorShowDialog;
            }
        }

When running the above code, I get the Zoo License window popping up, and I’m able to enter a License Key. If it’s the wrong key, it refuses. If it’s the correct key, it closes the Zoo License window, and then reopens it again. It will do this 3 times. GetLicense returns false.

What am I doing wrong?

Hi @aske,

Have you seen this sample?

Hi Dale,
Thanks!
Yes I saw that, but then I got lost by following the docs instead… When rereading the sample, I think I’m missing filling out the LicenseData correctly? I’ll try that out!

Thanks again!
