A license file consists of a header in plain text followed by an encrypted data block. Any properties or restrictions in the license data can be optionally exposed so that they also appear as plain text, e.g. the expiry time. Additional text can be added to the header if desired. Finally, license files are protected by signatures to prevent removal or changing of the plain text.
In Maian Cube, the license name MUST match the license file name you have entered on the "Restrictions" tab of the ionCube GUI:
