🌸 DETAILED DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so, the SoLockManager is a defunct software license lock mechanism. literally that's it. it's a ghost 👻

this is just a dummy implementation of the TGS Inventor class that was used to provide a license locking mechanism. no cap. and the reason it's dummy is iconic: since Coin can be used without any royalty fees or client-site license locks, no such mechanism is needed. so they just… didn't make one. slay 💅

if you're looking for info about using Coin in proprietary applications for commercial distribution, read about the Coin Professional Edition License on the Coin web-pages (the "here" link, iykyk 🦋).

🔥 MEMBER FUNCTION DOCUMENTATION 🔥

🧚 void SoLockManager::SetUnlockString (char * unlockstr) [static]

a void method provided just for source code compatibility in client applications with TGS Inventor. that's the entire job description, periodt.

it just stores the unlockstr argument internally so it can hand it back whenever somebody calls GetUnlockString(). a lil stash-and-pass, no notes 🫶

🌈 char * SoLockManager::GetUnlockString (void ) [static]

a void method provided just for source code compatibility in client applications with TGS Inventor. same energy as its sibling fr fr.

returns the string that was set through SetUnlockString(). that's the tea ☕
