Configuring the SharedActivation

SharedActivation provides system-wide locking capabilities for license activations shared across multiple processes. It wraps a standard IActivation instance with additional locking mechanisms.

The SharedActivation constructor requires two configuration sections:

1. Activation Options - Configures the underlying activation (same as regular Activation). How to configure activation documentation is available here.

2. Locking Options - Configures the locking mechanism for cross-process synchronization

ISharedActivation activation = SharedActivation(
                activationOptions -> /* activation configuration */,
                lockingOptions -> /* locking configuration */,
                persistence);

Locking Options

Locking options define how SharedActivation coordinates access between multiple processes:

lockingOptions -> {
    // Use system-wide named file lock based on storage location
    lockingOptions.useSystemLock();
    
    // OR use system-wide named file lock based
    lockingOptions.useSystemLock("Global-YourApp-UniqueIdentifier");
    
    // OR use a custom lock implementation
    lockingOptions.useCustomLock(activation -> yourCustomLockFactory);
}
