EA_GetSharedAddinName

Description

As an add-in writer you can distribute keys to your add-in via the Enterprise Architect Keystore providing your keys are generated using a prefix that allows Enterprise Architect to identify the add-in to which they belong. EA_GetSharedAddinName is called by Enterprise Architect to determine what prefix an add-in is using. If a matching key is found in the keystore the License Management dialog will display the name returned by EA_AddinLicenseGetDescription to your users. Finally, when the user selects a key, that key will be passed to your add-in to validate by calling EA_AddinLicenseValidate.
