You can easily generate Activation Codes with the SoftwareShield COM-Activator component using the interface provided. You can also use the component to validate and decode Authorization Request Codes for a specific license.
To develop your own customized user interface, you simply link to the COM-Activator in your application and invoke its functionality to interact with the user. In this way you can effectively build your own version of the "off-line" Manual-Activator.
You generate Activation Codes based on either Authorization Request Codes that a client sends you (with the possibility of overriding that request) or build up an Activation Code "from scratch" by passing FingerPrint data in with the function call.
