II3IDTool2::LicenseComponentName Property

get_LicenseComponentName

Returns the license component name that the tool requires.

IDL Function Prototype

HRESULT LicenseComponentName(

   [out, retval] BSTR * ComponentName

);

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT get_LicenseComponentName(BSTR * ComponentName);

Parameters

ComponentName

Both tools and initiators can register that they require certain licensed components for users to be able to use them in Designer. This method returns the license components that are registered for the initiator.

put_LicenseComponentName

Sets the license object component to use to verify that a tool is licensed. You need to call this during the registration phase of the tool and before it is committed.

IDL Function Prototype

HRESULT LicenseComponentName(

   [in] BSTR ComponentName

);

C/C++ Syntax

HRESULT put_LicenseComponentName(BSTR ComponentName);

Parameters

ComponentName

The ComponentName is the license feature / component that needs to be installed on the server for handlers that have tool steps created from this tool to be publishable.

Interaction Designer and EICPublisher will not let users publish a handler if the handler contains non-licensed tools or initiator.

NOTE: License checks can only be done when Designer users have a valid Notifier connection. In the event that there is no Notifier connection, Designer will consider the tool to be licensed.
