❔ Failed to Activate License

I'm trying to make a License.key file for my program to read and to activate the license key but it's keep failing to activate the License key, if you need more detail let me know, also there is no error showing in my code so I'm at a lost.

no need to be sorry 😛 its just that images some times aren't as helpful as the code directly

Haha that’s true kinda have to squint to actually see the code

leowest•2y ago

so where does it fail right now? line 36?

Apex6554OP•2y ago

So when I click browse button to locate my License.key file I have the username, password, License key hash and the expiry date displayed in the text box then I click activate but I get a message saying failed to activate license been stuck on that part for some time now

ok so line 36 well I would start by breaking down your if condition so you can break point and see which is not matching

Apex6554OP•2y ago

So insert a break point on line 36?

leowest•2y ago

break it down first if ( username == inputusername) etc so that u can easily spot which one is wrong with everything in one condition it might make it hard for u to see which one is failing

if (inputLicenseKeyHash != storedLicenseKeyHash)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Hash differ");
    return;
}

if (inputExpiryDate > storedExpiryDate)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Expired");
    return;
}

if (inputUsername != storedUsername)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Wrong username");
    return;
}

if (inputPasswordHash != storedPasswordHash)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Wrong password");
    return;
}

MessageBox.Show("License activated successfully.");

this.Hide();

MainForm mainForm = new MainForm();
mainForm.ShowDialog();

this.Close();

if (inputLicenseKeyHash != storedLicenseKeyHash)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Hash differ");
    return;
}

if (inputExpiryDate > storedExpiryDate)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Expired");
    return;
}

if (inputUsername != storedUsername)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Wrong username");
    return;
}

if (inputPasswordHash != storedPasswordHash)
{
    MessageBox.Show("Wrong password");
    return;
}

MessageBox.Show("License activated successfully.");

this.Hide();

MainForm mainForm = new MainForm();
mainForm.ShowDialog();

this.Close();

so replace line 36 with the code you provided?

leowest•2y ago

sure you can do that, that is just an example so you can see if there is anything wrong with any of those

leowest•2y ago

if you replace it, u would have to remove all this but I am sure you understand that

Apex6554OP•2y ago

Yeah because if I don’t it’ll give off lots of error The only thing that pops up is Hash differ

leowest•2y ago

well then that is your issue inputLicenseKeyHash is not equal to storedLicenseKeyHash

Apex6554OP•2y ago

The license key that is stored inside License.key file is the license key hash that is being entered how do I fix that if it’s not equal to storesLicenseKeyHash?

leowest•2y ago

well try outputting the value of both and see I would assume something done at string inputLicenseKeyHash = ComputeHash(inputLicenseKey); is not right or missing
