RML Licence File Deployment and Verification

If you have purchased a commercial licence you should receive a licence file.

1. Make sure any expired/old licence files (ReportLabPLUSLicense.py) are deleted (along with the corresponding .pyc).

2. Make sure that the new file is copied into a directory anywhere on the PYTHONPATH. Typically, if you are running a Python script from a terminal the current working directory should be on the path. You can always check the path in a terminal, start python, then ;

   >>> import sys

   >>> sys.path

3. Verify by checking:

   -the licence can be imported,

   -the path of the file,

   -the licence number (eg when the the licence was issued),

   -the user field looks right,

   -check the expiry date

   -Example verification:

   $ python

   [GCC 6.3.0 20170516] on linux2
   Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
   >>> import ReportLabPLUSLicense
   >>> ReportLabPLUSLicense.__file__
   'ReportLabPLUSLicense.py'
   >>>ReportLabPLUSLicense.number
   '20200323095038'
   >>> ReportLabPLUSLicense.user
   'customer-{optional-comment}-year-issued'
   >>>import time
   >>>time.strftime('%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S', time.localtime(ReportLabPLUSLicense.expire))
