You can call DBR_GetErrorString to get detailed error message.

DBR_InitLicenseFromLicenseContent

Initialize barcode reader license from the license content on the client machine for offline verification.

DBR_API int DBR_InitLicenseFromLicenseContent (void* barcodeReader, const char* pLicenseKey, const char* pLicenseContent)	

Parameters

[in] barcodeReader Handle of the barcode reader instance.
[in] pLicenseKey The license key.
[in] pLicenseContent An encrypted string representing the license content (quota, expiration date, barcode type, etc.) obtained from the function DBR_OutputLicenseToString.

Return value

[in] contentLen The length of output string. The recommended length is 512 per license key.

Return value

Returns error code (returns 0 if the function operates successfully).
You can call DBR_GetErrorString to get detailed error message.

Remark

DBR_InitLicenseFromServer has to be successfully called before calling this function.

DBR_OutputLicenseToStringPtr

Output the license content as an encrypted string from the license server to be used for offline license verification.

DBR_API int DBR_OutputLicenseToStringPtr (void* barcodeReader, char** content)

Parameters

[in] barcodeReader Handle of the barcode reader instance.
[in,out] content The output string which stores the content of license.

Return value

Returns error code (returns 0 if the function operates successfully).
You can call DBR_GetErrorString to get detailed error message.

Remark

DBR_InitLicenseFromServer has to be successfully called before calling this function.

DBR_FreeLicenseString

Free memory allocated for the license string.

DBR_API void DBR_FreeLicenseString (char** content)

Parameters

[in] content The output string which stores the content of license.

Remark

DBR_OutputLicenseToStringPtr has to be successfully called before calling this function.

DBR_InitLTSConnectionParameters

Initializes a DM_LTSConnectionParameters struct with default values.

DBR_API int DBR_InitLTSConnectionParameters (DM_LTSConnectionParameters *pLTSConnectionParameters)

Parameters

[in, out] pLTSConnectionParameters The struct of DM_LTSConnectionParameters.

Return value

Returns error code (returns 0 if the function operates successfully).
You can call DBR_GetErrorString to get detailed error message.

Code Snippet

char errorBuf[512];
DM_LTSConnectionParameters paramters;
DBR_InitLTSConnectionParameters(&paramters);
paramters.handshakeCode = "Your handshake code";
DBR_InitLicenseFromLTS(&paramters, errorBuf, 512);

DBR_InitLicenseFromLTS

Initializes the barcode reader license and connects to the specified server for online verification.

DBR_API int DBR_InitLicenseFromLTS(DM_LTSConnectionParameters *pLTSConnectionParameters, char errorMsgBuffer[], const int errorMsgBufferLen)

Parameters

[in] pLTSConnectionParameters The struct DM_LTSConnectionParameters with customized settings.
[in, out] errorMsgBuffer The buffer is allocated by caller and the recommended length is 256. The error message will be copied to the buffer.
[in] errorMsgBufferLen The length of allocated buffer.

Return value

Returns error code (returns 0 if the function operates successfully).
You can call DBR_GetErrorString to get detailed error message.

Code Snippet

char errorBuf[512];
DM_LTSConnectionParameters paramters;
DBR_InitLTSConnectionParameters(&paramters);
paramters.handshakeCode = "Your handshake code";
DBR_InitLicenseFromLTS(&paramters, errorBuf, 512);

DBR_GetIdleInstancesCount

Gets available instances count when charging by concurrent instances count.

DBR_API int DBR_GetIdleInstancesCount()

Return value

Returns available instances count.

Code Snippet

//...
int count = DBR_GetIdleInstancesCount();
if(count > 0)
{
  //create instance and process further
}
else 
{
  //waiting for available instances 
}
