Partially automating license activation
You can partially automate your license activation by using the LM-X API to integrate HostID retrieval into your application. (See LMX_HostidSimple and LMX_Hostid.) This enables you to obtain the information in a more automated way. You can also automate the execution of xmllicgen by integrating it with any custom license generation tools. License delivery would be the same as for manual license activation.
