When using LMX_HOSTID_DONGLE_HASPHL with local standalone licenses, the client application should ensure that the dongle is not removed during client runtime.

One way to You can check the dongle is by calling LMX_Heartbeat on a separate thread continuously, or by ensuring that LMX_HOSTID_DONGLE_HASPHL HostID is in use and , if so, comparing the HostID value against the last known good value, as demonstrated in the following example. 

Code Block
languagecpp
int i;
LMX_FEATURE_INFO FI;
LMX_HOSTID LmxHostid[LMX_MAX_HOSTIDS];
int nHostids;
LMX_GetFeatureInfo(LmxHandle, "my_app", &FI);
/* Go through each hostid used for this particular feature */
for (i = 0; i < FI.nClientLicenseHostids; i++)
{
  /* See if the hostid is a dongle hostid */
  if (FI.ClientLicenseHostid[i].nHostidType == LMX_HOSTID_DONGLE_HASPHL)
  {
    /* See if hostid function reports the same value as we used when checking out the license */
    if (LMX_Hostid(LmxHandle, LMX_HOSTID_DONGLE_HASPHL, LmxHostid, &nHostids)!= LMX_SUCCESS) 
      return BAD_DONGLE;
    if (nHostidnHostids != 1)
      return BAD_DONGLE;
    /* Compare if the hostid at checkout time matches the hostid at present time */
    if (strcmp(FI.ClientLicenseHostid[0].szValue, LmxHostID[0].szValue) != 0) 
      return BAD_DONGLE;
  }
}
