License file construction
The file has the name 'aa.DAT', where 'aa' is replaced by the application code. The file shall always be located in the program directory, as it is considered as a part of the program. If the program at startup is not able to locate the file in that directory, it will automatically terminate.
The file contains a string list with the following fields:
License number in the format 'aannnnn'.
Expiry date.
Customer's name (for this license).
Customer's location(for this license).
Modules.
Additional text.
Remarks (shall not occur on the customer's screen ).
Reserved.

Checksum.
Each of the strings above shall be separated with a fixed character.
The checksum is some kind of sum of all the preceding bytes in the string list. This in order to prevent the user from changing single bytes in the file (for instance to try and modify the expiry date or the modules).
When a license file is produced, it is encrypted before it is written to disk. The encryption will make the file unreadable, and the encryption algorithm or factor will change through the encryption.
Module overview Windows version
Below is for each windows application set up the filename for the license file.
For each application, all the different modules are listed. To the right of the module we have the code letter that this module has in the ‘nnn' behind a code, it means that 'nnn’ shall be replaced with a number consisting of 3 digits.
