Hi,

I have developped one python application. I need open source license server to manage the app via local network. Where can I get this kind of open source project?

Thanks!

Regards

Andrew

  • It’s not really clear (to me, anyway) what you’re asking for. What would the application you’re looking for *do*?

    Are you looking for something like flexlm?  Are you licensing your python application on a per-seat basis?

  • I’m looking for some software like flexlm, which has the function like floating license. My python app will be installed in several PCs in local network, and I want to manage which python app can be used. So I need one license manager to control the usage of python app.

  • I know flexlm but I never heard of an open source project with the same functionality. Open source is usually free to use so there is no need to control the number of licenses used :-)

  • If your code is written in Python, what’s to stop users from just rewriting the license check?

  • There is an OpenLM that, ISTR, is a replacement for FlexLM. I’ve used the tools associated with it to analyse FlexLM logs. However looking at it, it now seems to be a commercial enterprise.

  • In my youth I realised that a licensed package was calling a separate executable to check the license – the return code determined if the product was licensed. I replaced the license code with a shell script that returned ‘1’ and it all worked. Simple, naive days.
