Warning codes

Silk Meter policies can have warning codes associated with them. The warning code that is connected to a license may contain the following messages:

All licenses are in use, but because of the relaxed license count a license is still granted.
This license is marked as a demo license.
This license is marked as a laptop license.
This license will expire in less than two weeks.

Warning messages are returned in the above stated order of preference. This means that if a license will expire in less than two weeks and is a demo license, only the warning code regarding the demo license will be returned.

The programmer of the application that is controlled by Silk Meter can decide how to handle warning codes. For example, the application can disable functionality or display additional disclaimers for a demo license or warning message if the license is set to expire soon. The method warningReason returns a string describing the warning.

The following table lists the Silk Meter warning codes, along with a brief description.
