AncientLic.Net

AncientLic.Net is a reusable software licensing library focused on deterministic validation, tamper detection, and clear validation outcomes.

Features

  • Deterministic key validation for repeatable verification results.
  • Company-bound license validation with normalized company name checks.
  • Expiry detection with structured validation output.
  • Typing mistake detection using checksum validation.
  • Tamper detection using custom mathematical transforms combined with HMACSHA256.

Installation

Install from NuGet:

dotnet add package AncientLic.Net

Usage

IAncientLicenseSecretProvider secretProvider = new StaticAncientLicenseSecretProvider("your-secret-seed");
LicenseValidator validator = new LicenseValidator(secretProvider);
LicenseValidationResult result = validator.Validate(licenseKey, "ACME CORP");

bool isValid = result.IsValid;
bool isExpired = result.IsExpired;
AncientLicenseType licenseType = result.LicenseType;
DateTime expiryDate = result.ExpiryDate;
string errorMessage = result.ErrorMessage;

Security Notes

  • Keep secret seeds out of client applications where possible.
  • Prefer generating licenses in trusted backend systems.
  • Rotate algorithm/secret material with versioning when needed.
