juce::OnlineUnlockStatus::MachineIDUtilities Struct Reference

Detailed Description

This class contains some utility functions that might help with machine ID generation.

Static Public Member Functions
static char	getPlatformPrefix ()
	Returns a character that represents the current OS.
static String	getEncodedIDString (const String &inputString)
	Returns an encoded hash string from the given input string, prefixing it with a letter to represent the current OS type.
static bool	addFileIDToList (StringArray &result, const File &file)
	Utility function that you may want to use in your machine-ID generation code.
static void	addMACAddressesToList (StringArray &result)
	Utility function that you may want to use in your machine-ID generation code.
static StringArray	getLocalMachineIDs ()
	This method calculates some machine IDs based on things like network MAC addresses, hard-disk IDs, etc, but if you want, you can overload it to generate your own list of IDs.
static String	getUniqueMachineID ()
	Returns an encoded unique machine ID.

Member Functions

getPlatformPrefix()

char juce::OnlineUnlockStatus::MachineIDUtilities::getPlatformPrefix ( )

static

Returns a character that represents the current OS.

E.g. 'M' for Mac, 'W' for windows, etc

getEncodedIDString()

String juce::OnlineUnlockStatus::MachineIDUtilities::getEncodedIDString ( const String & inputString )

static

Returns an encoded hash string from the given input string, prefixing it with a letter to represent the current OS type.

addFileIDToList()

bool juce::OnlineUnlockStatus::MachineIDUtilities::addFileIDToList ( StringArray & result, const File & file )

static

Utility function that you may want to use in your machine-ID generation code.

This adds an ID string to the given array which is a hash of the filesystem ID of the given file.

addMACAddressesToList()

void juce::OnlineUnlockStatus::MachineIDUtilities::addMACAddressesToList ( StringArray & result )

static

Utility function that you may want to use in your machine-ID generation code.

This adds some ID strings to the given array which represent each MAC address of the machine.

getLocalMachineIDs()

StringArray juce::OnlineUnlockStatus::MachineIDUtilities::getLocalMachineIDs ( )

static

This method calculates some machine IDs based on things like network MAC addresses, hard-disk IDs, etc, but if you want, you can overload it to generate your own list of IDs.

The IDs that are returned should be short alphanumeric strings without any punctuation characters. Since users may need to type them, case is ignored when comparing them.

Note that the first item in the list is considered to be the "main" ID, and this will be the one that is displayed to the user and registered with the marketplace webserver. Subsequent IDs are just used as fallback to avoid false negatives when checking for registration on machines which have had hardware added/removed since the product was first registered.

getUniqueMachineID()

String juce::OnlineUnlockStatus::MachineIDUtilities::getUniqueMachineID ( )

static

Returns an encoded unique machine ID.
