Details |
EA_AddInLicenseValidate is broadcast to all Add-Ins, providing them with a chance to use the Add-In key to determine the level of functionality to provide. The event is broadcast in response to a non-standard Enterprise Architect key being entered into the License Management dialog. For the Add-In to validate itself against this key, the Add-In's EA_AddinLicenseValidate handler should return true to advise Enterprise Architect that the license has been validated. The EA_AddinLicenseValidate event is broadcast to all Add-Ins, therefore one license can validate many Add-Ins. If an Add-In elects to handle a license key by returning true to EA_AddinLicenseValidate, it is called upon to provide a description of the license key through the EA_AddinLicenseGetDescription event. If more than one Add-In elects to handle a license key, the first Add-In that returns true to EA_AddinLicenseValidate is queried for the license key description.
