For a module we are developing we want to check the license of the user. I would expect that the function license() returns one of the five macro values: 0 (LICENSE_TYPE_NONE), 1( LICENSE_TYPE_STANDARD ), 2 (LICENSE_TYPE_RUNTIME ), 3 ( LICENSE_TYPE_EDUCATIONAL ) or 4 ( LICENSE_TYPE_CUSTOM ). But this is not the case. The function returns some large six digit number. How can I check which type of license the user has?
Thanks in advance
Use the licensehasfeature() command. Rather than trying to do it based on the license type (none, standard, runtime, etc.), you should focus on the particular feature (stochastics, commercialuse, createobjects, etc.) that is required for what you are doing.
Runtime doesn't have the createobjects feature:
licensehasfeature(CLF_CREATE_OBJECTS)
Educational doesn't have the commercialuse feature:
licensehasfeature(CLF_COMMERCIAL_USE)
Express doesn't have the stochastics feature:
licensehasfeature(CLF_STOCHASTICS)
The license() command returns a bit field of the various features that are available. The licensehasfeature() command does a bitwise-AND to determine whether a specific feature is available.
It's still in the command help, so should still be the supported method:
