| After embarrassing myself by providing a linux sysadmin with a WebObjects 5.3.1 license key and telling him he was licensed to deploy my webobjects app on his system, I wrote a simple java command line app to test my license key before I distribute an app containing the key. Others may find it useful so here is the source. //to compile, save as LicenseCheck.java and then type // javac -classpath /Library/WebObjects/lib/JavaWebObjects.jar LicenseCheck.java // public class LicenseCheck extends com.webobjects.appserver._private.License { public LicenseCheck(String s) { super(s); } public static void main(String args[]) { if(args.length == 0) { System.out.println("Usage: java -cp /Library/WebObjects/lib/JavaWebObjects.jar:. LicenseCheck serial-number"); System.exit(0); } try { System.out.println(SerialNumberUtil.FSSerialBytes2Struct(SerialNumberUtil.FSSerialString2Bytes(args[0]))); System.out.println(new LicenseCheck(args[0])); } catch(IllegalArgumentException iae) { System.out.println("Invalid serial number"); } } } The output gives a bit more information than Apple's WebObjectsLicenseUpgrader which hasn't shipped since 5.2 anyway. Here is some sample output I got from recent keys WebObjects 5.3 key <FSSerialRec productCode=10 version=83 locationCode=1 serialNumberVersion=1 serialNumber=3 check=398563 station=0 reserved=0 maxrequests=0 expiremonth=0 womacosx=true wowinnt=true wounix=true multithreading=true loadbalancing=true > <License productCode=10 productMajorVers=5 productMinorVers=3 maxReqPerMin=0 multithreadingEnabled=true loadBalancingEnabled=true> WebObjects 5.3.1 key <FSSerialRec productCode=11 version=83 locationCode=1 serialNumberVersion=1 serialNumber=2 check=523789 station=0 reserved=0 maxrequests=0 expiremonth=0 womacosx=true wowinnt=false wounix=false multithreading=true loadbalancing=true > <License productCode=11 productMajorVers=5 productMinorVers=3 maxReqPerMin=0 multithreadingEnabled=true loadBalancingEnabled=true> WebObjects 5.3.2 key <FSSerialRec productCode=11 version=83 locationCode=1 serialNumberVersion=1 serialNumber=4 check=1022001 station=0 reserved=0 maxrequests=0 expiremonth=0 womacosx=true wowinnt=true wounix=true multithreading=true loadbalancing=true > <License productCode=11 productMajorVers=5 productMinorVers=3 maxReqPerMin=0 multithreadingEnabled=true loadBalancingEnabled=true> It looks like productCode=10 is WebObjects Developer, while productCode=11 is WebObjects Deployment. As expected the 5.3.1 key didn't work with linux (wounix=false), but the 5.3 key did. It looks like the 5.3.2 key is a true deployment key for all platforms. Enjoy! Tim |
