Software License Key

This is a library for generating and validating software license keys with data embedded in the license key.

Installation

``bash
npm install software-license-key
`

Setup

You can then require the library in your code by using:
`javascript
const SoftwareLicenseKey = require('software-license-key');
`

Usage

$3

Key generation can be done manually or by leveraging the library. You can generate your own key pairs for usage by using the following commands:

`bash
#generate private key
openssl genpkey -algorithm RSA -out private_key.pem -pkeyopt rsa_keygen_bits:2048

#generate public key from private
openssl rsa -pubout -in private_key.pem -out public_key.pub
`

You can pass these keys to the library by calling the constructor with a parameter that is a buffer of the key itself.

* With key external key files:
`javascript
const fs = require('fs');

//instantiate with the private key
var privateKeyFile = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/cert.pem', 'utf8');
var generator = new SoftwareLicenseKey(privateKeyFile);

//instantiate with the public key
var publicKeyFile = fs.readFileSync('/path/to/cert.pub', 'utf8');
var validator = new SoftwareLicenseKey(publicKeyFile);
`
* With string version of keys

`javascript

* Library Generated Keys

If you'd prefer to have the library generate the key pairs for you, just instantiate it without passing a key.

`javascript
var generator = new SoftwareLicenseKey();
`




$3

To generate a license key you must instantiate with a private key or no key for automatic generation.

`javascript
var generator = new SoftwareLicenseKey();
var licenseKeyData = {"fakeField": "some data"}
console.log(generator.generateLicense(licenseKeyData));
`

$3

To validate a license key you must use the corresponding public key for the private key that generated the license key.

`javascript
var publicKey = "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\n" +
"MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFAAOCAQ8AMIIBCgKCAQEAwYXYEB7ubL1nKk/VltbQ\n" +
