Preparing the Software for Sale
Create a product in the Guardant Station system
Set up a sales scheme for your software and a template for the license that you will send to customers. Remember the numbers of the specified features – you will need them later.
Use the Guardant Protection Studio utility
Specify the executable files that you want to protect, as well as the numbers of features previously created in Guardant Station. The utility will create the protected versions of files and a service DLL that can already be transferred to your client.
Assemble the distribution kit for delivery to the client
In addition to the protected files of your software, the delivery package may contain various other elements. To pass the basic scenario, you will only need the Activation Wizard, which is located in the folder with the installed Guardant SLK:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Guardant\Software Licensing Kit\redistribute\
Shipping Licenses to Users
Create an order in the Guardant Station
If you are testing a hardware key, just write the license into it and deliver it to the client. When testing the software key, copy the serial number that was generated in the order and send it to the client. Next, the client needs to use the Activation Wizard to install the license on his PC.
