key_verify/2 arguments
Argument | Mode | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
$KEY | Input | STRING | Specifies the license key |
$FIELDS | Output | LIST_OF STRING | List of fields from key |
Use the key_verify/2 to validate license key $KEY and to retrieve fields from the license key in $FIELDS.
A license key is a string containing licensing information, as provided by BMC.
