Integral Pro 0.4.0 released

Integral Pro 0.4.0 is out for subscribers. The free packages @sweberdev/integral and @sweberdev/integral-react stay at 0.3.0; nothing changed there.

Why

Once licenses are sold automatically, the questions change. How many people may use one license at the same time? How much did a customer use this month? What happened to this license, and who can revoke it without opening the database? 0.4.0 answers these in the license server and the React portal.

What is new

• Floating licenses. seats becomes the number of apps that may run at the same time. An app takes a seat with lease() and renews it as a heartbeat. A seat that is not renewed expires on its own after five minutes (adjustable from 30 to 3600 seconds). The routes are /lease and /lease/release.
• Usage metering. recordUsage() counts usage per license, metric and period (month, year or none) and refuses it above the limit signed into the license. Refused usage is not counted.
• Audit trail. Every issue, renewal, revocation, activation and seat change is stored as an event and can be read with events() or exported as JSON or CSV.
• Administration. createAdminHandler() is a token-protected API to search licenses, revoke them, issue them again and free devices or seats. In React, <LicenseAdmin> is an unstyled view on top of it, with English and German labels.
• useLease() holds a seat while your app runs and tells you when all seats are in use.

const result = await licenses.lease({ license, holder: "session-42" })
if (!result.ok && result.reason === "lease_limit") showAllSeatsInUse()

await licenses.recordUsage({ license, metric: "exports" })

Update

Run sqlSchema again. It adds three tables (leases, usage, events) and leaves existing data untouched. Existing licenses and routes keep working.

The new administration guide and the updated server and portal pages describe every route. Integral Pro starts at CHF 12 per month, see the package page.
