Syntax

int VLScgSetCodeLength (VLScg_HANDLE iHandle, codeT *codeP, char *flag);

Argument	Description
iHandle	The instance handle for this library.
codeP	The pointer to the codeT struct.
flag	The Flag values used to set the code_type member of the codeT struct. Legal values are: >VLScg_SHORT_CODE_STRING = “0” >VLScg_LONG_CODE_STRING = “1” >VLScg_SHORT_NUMERIC_CODE_STRING = “2”

Description

Sets the license code length to short or long.

License codes are 10 characters or longer uppercase alphanumeric or all-numeric strings. The license generator generates long, short, or short-numeric license codes.

>Short code licenses contain less information than the long code and cannot support certain licensing options. However, short codes have the advantage of being easier to generate and manage.

NOTE   Short code licenses are not supported from license version 11 onwards.

>Long codes can contain as many characters as needed.

>Short-numeric codes are numeric strings only and require minimal information from the user. This code contains the least information.

NOTE   Short-numeric code licenses not supported for license earlier than version 6.

Returns

The status code VLScg_SUCCESS is returned, if successful. Otherwise, it returns the following error codes:

Error Code	Description
VLScg_INVALID_INPUT	If either codeP or flag are NULL.
VLScg_INVALID_INT_TYPE	Value is not numeric.
VLScg_EXCEEDS_MAX_VALUE	If value exceeds VLScg_SHORT_NUMERIC_CODE.
VLScg_LESS_THAN_MIN_VALUE	If the value is lower than VLScg_SHORT_CODE.
