We are trying to create a custom validator for licenses. The process appears to work, but we get an "invalid data" message when trying to install the signed license. Any help would be greatly apprecaited. Code follows:

Dim provider As New AuthenticatedLicenseProvider
Dim licpara As New AuthenticatedLicenseParameters
licpara.ReadFromString(LICENSE_PARAMETERS)
licpara.ProductPassword = "PASSWORD"
licpara.AuthenticationPassword = "AUTHPASSWORD"
Dim oAuth As AuthenticatedLicense
Dim sLicensePath As String = "C:\License Files\"

Dim oLic As AuthenticatedLicense

oLic = provider.ReadLicense(sLicensePath & "License.lic")


oAuth = provider.SignLicense(licpara, oLic.LicenseKey, oLic.ComputerID)

provider.WriteLicense(sLicensePath & "v_License.lic", oAuth)

I think the problem is that you are using the same LICENSE_PARAMETERS that you include in your application for validating the license. These parameters do not include the private keys necessary for generating and authenticating licenses.

To get the parameters required for authenticating a license you need to export the settings to an Infralution License Settings (.ils) file from LicenseKeyGenerator or LicenseTracker. This will include the private keys required. Then you can read this in your application:

I no longer have the license tracker DB, just the authentication server. Is there a way to export the correct key from the authentication server?

We are generating keys by using the autentication service. We have all of the authentication service settings and service db, we just don't have license tracker.

So we just read AuthenticationLicenseParameters section from the autehticationsettings file into AuthenticatedLicenseParameters which we can then use to call the signlicense method?
