Python client module of the LUCIT Licensing Service.

Description

This module is used to verify LUCIT software licenses and also provides the developer with a command line interface to interact with the LUCIT Licensing API.

If you have already installed modules of LUCIT like the UNICORN Binance Suite, which use the lucit-licensing-python library, you have already installed the commandline tool lucitlicmgr automatically.

Query contingents of your license

$ lucitlicmgr --quotas --apisecret bf7df011327d09b70fb0c6bfbc8661x33fdb0c58d42629c94ab35188d8d011ba  --licensetoken 5e84cbd7-acfa-489f-a84d-z7d1b615af40d

Example output:

{'quotas': {'instances': {'available': 10, 'free': 10, 'used': 0},
            'ips': {'available': 3, 'free': 2, 'used': 1},
            'resets': {'available': 3, 'free': 3, 'used': 0}},
 'signature': 'e762a949cb0987d6b6e11260a203752c1b2cbf1f8315f3eb6873100e528f8258',
 'timestamp': '1697880811.9013143'}

The apisecret and the licensetoken parameter can also be loaded from an INI file. Simply create the file lucit_license.ini in the app root path or in your home directory in the folder .lucit e.g. C:\Users\Name\.lucit or /home/Name/.lucit. with the following content:

[LUCIT]
api_secret = bf7df011327d09b70fb0c6bfbc8661x33fdb0c58d42629c94ab35188d8d011ba
license_token = 5e84cbd7-acfa-489f-a84d-z7d1b615af40d

Then just use:

$ lucitlicmgr --quotas

Example output:

{'quotas': {'instances': {'available': 10, 'free': 10, 'used': 0},
            'ips': {'available': 3, 'free': 2, 'used': 1},
            'resets': {'available': 3, 'free': 3, 'used': 0}},
 'signature': 'e762a949cb0987d6b6e11260a203752c1b2cbf1f8315f3eb6873100e528f8258',

Use multiple licenses (multi tenant) with profiles

Simply create the file lucit_license.ini in the app root path or in your home directory in the folder .lucit e.g. C:\Users\Name\.lucit or /home/Name/.lucit. with the following content:

`
[LUCIT]
api_secret = bf7df011327d09b70fb0c6bfbc8661x33fdb0c58d42629c94ab35188d8d011ba

Installation and Upgrade

The module requires Python 3.7 or above.

For Anaconda we offer packages only from Python version 3.8 and higher.

The current dependencies are listed here.

If you run into errors during the installation take a look here.

A Cython binary, PyPy or source code based CPython wheel of the latest version with pip from PyPI

Our Cython and PyPy Wheels are available on PyPI, these wheels offer significant advantages for Python developers:

• Performance Boost with Cython Wheels: Cython is a programming language that supplements Python with static typing and C-level performance. By compiling Python code into C, Cython Wheels can significantly enhance the execution speed of Python code, especially in computationally intensive tasks. This means faster runtimes and more efficient processing for users of our package.

• PyPy Wheels for Enhanced Efficiency: PyPy is an alternative Python interpreter known for its speed and efficiency. It uses Just-In-Time (JIT) compilation, which can dramatically improve the performance of Python code. Our PyPy Wheels are tailored for compatibility with PyPy, allowing users to leverage this speed advantage seamlessly.

Both Cython and PyPy Wheels on PyPI make the installation process simpler and more straightforward. They ensure that you get the optimized version of our package with minimal setup, allowing you to focus on development rather than configuration.

On Raspberry Pi and other architectures for which there are no pre-compiled versions, the package can still be installed with PIP. PIP then compiles the package locally on the target system during installation. Please be patient, this may take some time!

Installation

pip install lucit-licensing-python

Update

pip install lucit-licensing-python --upgrade

A Conda Package of the latest version with conda from Anaconda

The lucit-licensing-python package is also available as a Cython version for the linux-64, osx-64 and win-64 architectures with Conda through the lucit channel.

For optimal compatibility and performance, it is recommended to source the necessary dependencies from the conda-forge channel.

Installation

conda config --add channels conda-forge
conda config --add channels lucit
conda install -c lucit lucit-licensing-python

Update

conda update -c lucit lucit-licensing-python
