Implements a flexible client signature (host ID) validation system that allows applications to provide their own host identification logic instead of relying solely on licensecc's built-in hardware fingerprinting. Key features: - Added set_client_signature_validator() API function to register custom validators - Custom validator receives the client signature string from the license file - Validator returns boolean indicating whether the signature is valid - One-time-only registration to prevent runtime tampering (locked after first set) - Falls back to default licensecc hardware validation if no custom validator set - Maintains backward compatibility - existing code works without changes API additions: - ClientSignatureValidator typedef for validator function signature - set_client_signature_validator() function in licensecc.h public API - Thread-safe implementation using static locked flag Use cases: - Cloud/virtualized environments where hardware IDs change - Custom hardware identification schemes (e.g., USB dongles, TPM chips) - Enterprise environments with centralized license servers - Testing/development with mocked host validation This feature enables more flexible licensing models while maintaining security through the one-time registration constraint.
