Use the latest (updated today) HISE version.
Use Authorisation.js code with Content.makeFrontInterface like below. Also don't forget to include("Serials.js") to make the function check. All of the UI elements will be activated. I tried and compiled a plugin, it works likea charm. It creates "RegistrationInfo.js" in User presets main folder. Interface code example is this;
Content.makeFrontInterface(600, 500);
include("Serials.js");
namespace Authorisation
{
const var SerialInput = Content.getComponent("SerialInput");
const var Description = Content.getComponent("Description");
const var SerialStateLabel = Content.getComponent("SerialStateLabel");
const var AuthorisationDialogue = Content.getComponent("AuthorisationDialogue");
const var GlobalMute = Synth.getMidiProcessor("GlobalMute");
/** Checks if the serial input is valid and stores the result if successful. */
inline function onSubmitButtonControl(component, value)
{
if(!value) // Just execute once
return;
local v = SerialInput.getValue();
Console.print(v);
// Checks if it's in the input
if(serials.Data.contains(v))
{
Console.print("Serial number found");
local data =
{
"Serial": v
};
// Stores the file to the hard drive. In HISE it will be the project folder
// but in the compiled plugin it will use the parent directory to the
// user preset directory (which is usually the app data folder).
Engine.dumpAsJSON(data, "../RegistrationInfo.js");
setValidLicense(true);
}
else
{
Console.print("Invalid serial number");
Description.set("text", "Invalid serial number. The number you supplied does not match");
setValidLicense(false);
}
};
Content.getComponent("SubmitButton").setControlCallback(onSubmitButtonControl);
inline function setValidLicense(isValid)
{
// Do whatever you want to do here. I suggest a MIDI muter...
GlobalMute.setAttribute(0, 1 - isValid);
if(isValid)
{
// Change this to any other visual indication...
SerialStateLabel.set("bgColour", Colours.greenyellow);
AuthorisationDialogue.set("visible", false);
}
else
{
SerialStateLabel.set("bgColour", Colours.red);
AuthorisationDialogue.set("visible", true);
}
}
inline function checkOnLoad()
{
// Clear the input
SerialInput.set("text", "");
// Load the serial from the stored file
local pData = Engine.loadFromJSON("../RegistrationInfo.js");
Console.print("Checking serial");
if(pData)
{
local v = pData.Serial;
Console.print("Restored serial: " + v);
if(serials.Data.contains(v))
{
setValidLicense(true);
return;
}
}
setValidLicense(false);
}
// Call this on startup
checkOnLoad();
}
