Manage license node-locking
Note: License node-locking is only available for the on-premises Qt License Server operating in offline mode.
To use license node-locking, provide the hardware fingerprint of the intended on-premises host computer to Qt. Ask your Qt contact for more information.
The generated hardware fingerprint is unique to the Qt License Server host computer, which means that it locks the license file for the particular host running the on-premises Qt License Server.
Send the generated fingerprint via email to Qt Support for validation. You'll receive a new entitlement.json file that lists valid licenses with the fingerprint attached and hashed to each license. The new license file contains both the license information and the associated fingerprint.
When Qt License Server starts, the entitlement.json file is automatically imported. A license that includes a fingerprint is imported if the fingerprint matches the Qt License Server host computer.
Generate fingerprints
To generate a fingerprint from the command line with qt-license-server, enter:
./qt-license-server generate-server-fingerprint
.\qt-license-server.exe generate-server-fingerprint
