License Binding

QLM uses license binding to lock a license to a specified fingerprint. Licenses can be bound to machine identifiers, user identifiers, or site-wide identifiers such as an Active Directory domain.

Below is the list of currently supported identifiers. To create your own unique fingerprint based on a combination of identifiers, you can use the "UserDefined" license binding and then create your own fingerprint and provide it to QLM. The QlmHardware class has APIs to retrieve any of the identifiers listed below.
