Trusted Storage : Acquire/Return AvailableAcquisitionCount

[Willag]

Hi,

I am blocked on the following use case:

A TrustedStorage file is present on my computer with the feature <"name=F1", "version=1.0", "count=1").

Step 1 :
I launch my software a first time.
It loads the contents of the TrustedStorage file.
--> licensing.LicenseManager.AvailableAcquisitionCount("F1", "1.0").Count = 1
I acquire the "F1" feature: <licensing.LicenseManager.Acquire("F1", "1.0", 1);>.
--> licensing.LicenseManager.AvailableAcquisitionCount("F1", "1.0").Count = 0
The result seems consistent.
I don't close the software!

Step 2 :
I launch my software a second time (I remind you that the first one is not closed).
It loads the contents of the TrustedStorage file.
--> licensing.LicenseManager.AvailableAcquisitionCount("F1", "1.0").Count = 1
I acquire the "F1" function: <licensing.LicenseManager.Acquire("F1", "1.0", 1);>.
<licensing.LicenseManager.AvailableAcquisitionCount("F1", "1.0").Count = 0
Is this normal?

I don't understand why the result of "AvailableAcquisitionCount" is "1"?
Why can I acquire the function again when the first launch already acquired it?
I don't understand why the result is "1"? Shouldn't the first launch have locked the acquisition of this feature ?
Maybe I forgot to make a setting in my license model?

Thanks for your help

William

Hi @Willag ,

What you are seeing is expected behavior.  The license count is enforced within the same process only.   A new process will have access to the full count of licenses in trusted storage.

Thx,
