Overview

About

Maintained by Andreas BreitschoppCRAN page ↗GitHub ↗Website ↗Issues ↗

Verifies that a 'KeyNub' USB license dongle is genuine, reads and writes the license records it holds, reads and increments its monotonic counters, and encrypts data so that only a dongle can decrypt it. The work is done by the vendor's native library, which the package loads at run time; the package installs without it and reports where it looked. Runs on Windows, Linux and macOS.

Changes in 1.1.1

First release on CRAN, at the version of the SDK it belongs to.

From NEWS.md in the release

Install

R (CRAN)pak (dev)Fedora (COPR)openSUSE (OBS)

install.packages("KeyNubLicDongle", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")

Installs the current CRAN release. Prebuilt binaries on Windows and macOS.

if (!requireNamespace("pak", quietly = TRUE))
  install.packages("pak", repos = "https://cloud.r-project.org/")
pak::pak("AB-KeyNub/KeyNub-SDK")

Development version from AB-KeyNub/KeyNub-SDK. Installs pak first if it is not already available.

# enable the iucar/cran COPR if it is not already present, then install
ls /etc/yum.repos.d/*iucar*cran*.repo >/dev/null 2>&1 \
  || sudo dnf copr enable -y iucar/cran
sudo dnf install -y R-CRAN-KeyNubLicDongle

RPMs from the iucar/cran COPR, rebuilt from CRAN.

For install.packages() integration in R, also: sudo dnf install R-CoprManager

# add the autoCRAN OBS repo (Tumbleweed) if it is missing, then install
zypper -q lr | grep -qi autoCRAN \
  || sudo zypper addrepo https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/devel:/languages:/R:/autoCRAN/openSUSE_Tumbleweed/devel:languages:R:autoCRAN.repo
sudo zypper install -y R-KeyNubLicDongle

RPMs auto-built from CRAN on openSUSE OBS (Tumbleweed). We list this channel from recorded autoCRAN download activity rather than from a live index of the repository, so treat it as last known rather than guaranteed.
