An example implementation of a node-locked license activation flow using Keygen and Python
 Example Machine Activation
This is an example of a typical machine activation flow written in Python.
You may of course choose to implement a different flow if required - this
only serves as an example implementation.
## Running the example
First up, configure a few environment variables:
```bash
# Your Keygen account ID. Find yours at https://app.keygen.sh/settings.
export KEYGEN_ACCOUNT_ID="YOUR_KEYGEN_ACCOUNT_ID"
```
You can either run each line above within your terminal session before
starting the app, or you can add the above contents to your `~/.bashrc`
file and then run `source ~/.bashrc` after saving the file.
Next, install dependencies with [`pip`](https://packaging.python.org/):
```
python3 -m pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Activating a machine
To perform a machine activation, run the script and supply a license key:
```
python3 main.py some-license-key-here
```
The script will use a SHA256-HMAC of your device's [machineid](https://github.com/keygen-sh/py-machineid)
for the machine's fingerprint.
