Lycento SDK for Rust

A comprehensive Rust SDK for the Lycento licensing platform, designed for integration with Tauri desktop applications.

Description

Lycento SDK provides a complete client library for managing software licenses in Rust applications. It handles license activation, validation, and deactivation with automatic device identification, making it ideal for desktop applications built with Tauri or other Rust frameworks.

Installation

From crates.io

Add this to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
lycento-sdk = "1.0.0"

From git

[dependencies]
lycento-sdk = { git = "https://github.com/lycento/sdk", branch = "main" }

Quick Start

use lycento_sdk::{LycentoClient, LycentoConfig, ActivateOptions, ValidateOptions};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let config = LycentoConfig::new("https://api.lycento.com")
        .with_api_key("your-api-key")
        .with_timeout(10000);

    let client = LycentoClient::new(config)?;

    let license_key = "YOUR-LICENSE-KEY";

    let response = client
        .activate(ActivateOptions::new(license_key))
        .await?;
    println!("License activated: {:?}", response.license.status);

    let validation = client.validate_license(license_key).await?;
    println!("License valid: {}", validation.valid);

    let is_valid = client.is_valid(license_key).await;
    println!("Quick check: {}", is_valid);

    Ok(())
}

Features

• License Activation - Activate licenses with automatic device registration
• License Validation - Validate license status and expiration
• License Deactivation - Deactivate licenses from current or specific devices
• Device Information - Automatic device ID generation using system identifiers
• Full Async/Await - Built on Tokio for async operations
• Tauri Ready - Designed specifically for Tauri desktop applications
• Error Handling - Comprehensive error types for all failure scenarios
• Configurable - Customizable timeouts, base URLs, and API keys

API Reference

LycentoClient

The main client for all license operations.

let config = LycentoConfig::new("https://api.lycento.com");
let client = LycentoClient::new(config)?;

client.activate(ActivateOptions::new("license-key")).await?;
client.validate_license("license-key").await?;
client.is_valid("license-key").await;
client.get_info("license-key").await?;
client.can_activate("license-key").await?;
client.deactivate(DeactivateOptions::new("license-key")).await?;
client.deactivate_current("license-key").await?;

LycentoConfig

Configuration builder for the client.

let config = LycentoConfig::new("https://api.lycento.com")
    .with_api_key("your-api-key")
    .with_timeout(10000);

ActivateOptions

Options for license activation.

let options = ActivateOptions::new("license-key")
    .with_platform(Platform::Windows)
    .with_device_name("My Device")
    .with_device_id("custom-device-id");

ValidateOptions

Options for license validation.

let options = ValidateOptions::new("license-key")
    .with_device_id("custom-device-id");

DeactivateOptions

Options for license deactivation.

let options = DeactivateOptions::new("license-key")
    .with_device_id("device-to-deactivate");

Error Handling

The SDK provides comprehensive error types:

use lycento_sdk::{LycentoError, ActivationError, ValidationError, DeactivationError, NetworkError};

match client.validate_license(license_key).await {
    Ok(response) => println!("Valid: {}", response.valid),
    Err(LycentoError::Validation(ValidationError::Expired)) => {
        println!("License has expired");
    }
    Err(LycentoError::Validation(ValidationError::NotActivated)) => {
        println!("License not activated on this device");
    }
    Err(LycentoError::Activation(ActivationError::MaxDevicesReached)) => {
        println!("Maximum devices reached for this license");
    }
    Err(LycentoError::Network(NetworkError::Timeout)) => {
        println!("Request timed out");
    }
    Err(e) => println!("Error: {}", e),
}

Error Types

Tauri Integration

The SDK integrates seamlessly with Tauri applications. Here's an example of exposing license functionality to your frontend:

use lycento_sdk::{LycentoClient, LycentoConfig, ActivateOptions};
use tauri::State;
use std::sync::Mutex;

struct AppState {
    client: Mutex<LycentoClient>,
}

#[tauri::command]
async fn activate_license(
    state: State<'_, AppState>,
    license_key: String,
) -> Result<String, String> {
    let client = state.client.lock().unwrap();
    let result = client
        .activate(ActivateOptions::new(&license_key))
        .await
        .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
    Ok(result.license.status)
}

#[tauri::command]
async fn validate_license(
    state: State<'_, AppState>,
    license_key: String,
) -> Result<bool, String> {
    let client = state.client.lock().unwrap();
    let result = client
        .validate_license(&license_key)
        .await
        .map_err(|e| e.to_string())?;
    Ok(result.valid)
}

fn main() {
    let config = LycentoConfig::new("https://api.lycento.com")
        .with_api_key(std::env::var("LYCENTO_API_KEY").unwrap_or_default());

    tauri::Builder::default()
        .manage(AppState {
            client: Mutex::new(LycentoClient::new(config).unwrap()),
        })
        .invoke_handler(tauri::generate_handler![activate_license, validate_license])
        .run(tauri::generate_context!())
        .expect("error while running tauri application");
}
