Central License Manager

This folder is a standalone multi-app activation manager that lives separately from the legacy license_manager/ code.

What it includes

index.php — landing page + JSON API endpoints
manage.php — admin dashboard for apps, licenses, and activations
install.php — schema check / auto-install page
config.php — local config and move-to-another-server settings
bootstrap.php — shared DB, schema, and helper logic

Tables it manages

clm_apps
clm_licenses
clm_activations

API endpoints

Use the folder base URL as the app setting:

LICENSE_API_URL=https://your-domain.example/central_license_manager

Then the client will call:

index.php?action=activate
index.php?action=verify
index.php?action=deactivate
index.php?action=health

Admin/owner endpoints require the secret:

index.php?action=issue
index.php?action=list
index.php?action=apps
index.php?action=update

Moving this folder later

Copy the whole central_license_manager/ directory to the new server.
Set CLM_DB_HOST, CLM_DB_NAME, CLM_DB_USER, CLM_DB_PASS.
Set CLM_API_SECRET and CLM_ADMIN_PASSWORD.
Open install.php once to auto-create the tables.
Point each client app to the new base URL.

Compatibility note

The API currently returns both:

max_activations
allowed_activations

That keeps older client code working while you gradually upgrade each app to send a dedicated app_slug.

Current repo integration

This repo's lib/LicenseService.php now auto-detects this folder when LICENSE_API_URL is not set and uses it as the activation authority.

Default client values in this app:

LICENSE_APP_SLUG=bilingual-accounting
LICENSE_APP_NAME=Bilingual Accounting

You can override them per app with environment variables:

LICENSE_API_URL
LICENSE_API_SECRET
LICENSE_APP_SLUG
LICENSE_APP_NAME
LICENSE_PRODUCT_NAME
LICENSE_PRODUCT_VERSION

So when you move central_license_manager/ to another server later, you only need to point each app to the new base URL and set the right app slug/name.
