## Authorization Definition Description

Although it is optional, each Authorization Definition should have a description. This is a description you enter when defining your Authorization Definitions.

The description is solely for your use and reference. It is not used by the ClientProtector for any logic whatsoever. It should briefly give your intentions for this Authorization Definition.

Authorization Definition Descriptions are particularly useful when you manually generate Activation Codes using the Manual-Activator since the description will be visible beside the Authorization Definition which is being requested.

Authorization Definition Descriptions are also particularly useful when writing your licensing code. The description appears next to each Authorization Definition entry in the Programming Notes file which you will probably use as a reference during development.

#### More Information

For help on actually entering your Authorization Definition Descriptions, see Setting Authorization Descriptions in the SoftwareShield License Manager Reference.
