Licensing your Flow installations

To fully automate the deployment of Flow alongside your application it is necessary for you to connect with our Flow licensing system. This system is exposed as a web service to you upon signing an OEM Partner Agreement.

This web service allows you to create client accounts under your partner account, and issue licenses for them. As part of the OEM agreement you can provide trial periods and full licenses to your customers. Flow can then be deployed alongside your application and require no user interaction.

There are many methods for deploying licenses. The following is one such approach.

1. During your own client registration process you send a "Create Client" and "Create License" request to our web service. This creates a client account and license for our software.
2. During installation of your software you send a "Download License" request to our web service. This downloads the license file to the client machine.

The web service also contains functions allowing your to renew licenses and keep client account details up-to-date.

For confidentiality and security reasons the details on using our automated license web service will only be issued to signed OEM Partners.
