I had a customer with a requirement to be able to add a license key to an Enterprise installation from their application. My first thought was "Nope, can't be done" until I looked into it further and found that I was completely wrong 🙂
Using the Java Enterprise SDK you can add a keycode to Enterprise. As for .NET, there seems to be a setLicenseKey off the ILicenseKey in .NET, but it is not documented and I have not tested it.
Here is the code:
bq. Add Keycode<br /><textarea cols="75" rows="10"><%@ page import = "com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.infostore.*,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.plugin.desktop.common.*,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.framework.*,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.security.*,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.exception.SDKException,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.managedreports.IReportSourceFactory,
java.util.Locale,
javax.servlet.jsp.JspWriter,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.pluginmgr.*,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.occa.report.reportsource.IReportSource,
com.crystaldecisions.sdk.plugin.desktop.licensekey.*"
%>

PluginMgr = IStore.getPluginMgr();
// Get the LicenseKey plugin.
try{
LicenseKeyPlugin = PluginMgr.getPluginInfo("CrystalEnterprise.LicenseKey");
// Create a new InfoObjects collection. This will be used to store the new object
// that will be committed later.
NewInfoObjects = IStore.newInfoObjectCollection();
// Add the result of the plugin. This will create a new InfoObject that

out.println("Adding " + LicenseKey + "<BR><BR>");
NewLicenseKey.setLicenseKey(LicenseKey);
IStore.commit (NewInfoObjects);
