## Secure License Details

Secure license details refers to two areas of the license which can be accessed by your software through the ClientProtector to securely store several categories and types of data. This data can be used and manipulated by your software in any way you see fit. It is generally not used in any of the logic of the ClientProtector (one exception - see below).

The data contained inside these areas is physically contained by the license. Since the entire contents of the license is encrypted, compressed and mirrored into the Alias Files - it is fairly secure from tampering.

As mentioned, these areas are for the most part, for your discretionary use. You can use them for storage of data specific to your licensing implementation or for secure storage of any other information you need to protect.

The two major areas of storage are covered in more detail in the following subsections:

1. General License Details.

2. User Defined Fields.

General License Details are a set of fields that describe the host product and the intended user for a particular license. None of the General License Details are used by any logic of the ClientProtector. They are for your use and reference only.

User Defined Fields are a set of 20 fields of three different data types. The data types are strings, numbers and dates. In some cases User Defined Fields are used in the processing of logic by the ClientProtector. (See User Defined Fields for more information).
