BimPlugins.SDK.Licensing 1.0.0-alpha6

BimPlugins.SDK.Licensing

Licensing SDK for .NET applications. Validates licenses against the BimPlugins Local License Server.

Requirements

• Windows
• BimPlugins Local License Server installed and running

Supported Frameworks

• .NET Framework 4.8
• .NET 6.0 – 10.0 (Windows)

Important: Published Applications Only

This SDK uses .NET Reactor obfuscation for intellectual property protection. The protected assemblies will throw a System.TypeInitializationException when run from a development environment (e.g., dotnet run, Visual Studio debugger, or F5). This applies both to local project references and NuGet package references.

The SDK works correctly only when the consuming application is published (e.g., dotnet publish). This is expected behavior — the obfuscation runtime resolves correctly in a published output directory.

Installation

dotnet add package BimPlugins.SDK.Licensing

Or via the NuGet Package Manager:

Install-Package BimPlugins.SDK.Licensing

Quick Start

using BimPlugins.SDK.Licensing;
using BimPlugins.SDK.Licensing.Common;

var manager = new LicenseManager();
var response = await manager.CheckForLicenseAsync("my-application-id");

switch (response.Status)
{
    case ResponseStatus.Success:
        Console.WriteLine($"License valid until {response.LicenseExpiresAt}");
        break;
    case ResponseStatus.Expiring:
        Console.WriteLine($"License expiring on {response.LicenseExpiresAt}");
        break;
    case ResponseStatus.LicenseExpired:
        Console.WriteLine("License has expired.");
        break;
    case ResponseStatus.ServerNotAvailable:
        Console.WriteLine("Local License Server is not running.");
        break;
    default:
        Console.WriteLine($"License check failed: {response.ErrorMessage}");
        break;
}

API Reference

LicenseManager

The primary class for license validation.

CheckForLicenseAsync(string applicationId)

Validates the license for the given application ID against the Local License Server.

• Parameters: applicationId – The unique identifier of your application.
• Returns: Task<LicenseCheckResponse> – The validation result.

Each call opens a secure connection to the Local License Server, performs validation, and closes automatically. A 10-second timeout is applied to the connection attempt.
