## License Project Files (*.lpj)

License project files are the files that contain all the necessary information to build a license with the SoftwareShield License Manager. The license project file is the "source code" for your license.

License project files always have an ".lpj" extension. You can only open license project files properly with the SoftwareShield License Manager.

The default name for your license project is specified by the main license file name you input in the SoftwareShield License Manager, except with the ".lpj" extension.

Never distribute license project files (.lpj) with your application. Doing so would allow a cracker to compromise your applications license by recreating your license.

For help on actually creating and using License Project Files, see New License Project and Working With A License Project in the SoftwareShield License Manager Reference.
