Initialization

Simple initialization with default parameters:

$license = new SunLicense();

or you can use inline parameters:

$license = new SunLicense('SLK', 'AA99-9A9A-A9A9-99AA', 'upper', 5); // prefix, template, case of letters, number of keys

All config parameters are optional.

It will use default parameters that are set in the class if you don't specify the parameters while creating the object.

Generate Single Key

$license = new SunLicense(); // or you can use inline parameters as above
echo $license->generate();

If you don't use count attribute (4th parameter), the class generates only one license key.

This license key will be returned as a string, therefore you can use it directly.

Generate Multiple Keys

$license = new SunLicense(null, null, null, 5); // generates 5 license keys
$keys = $license->generate(); // returned an array
foreach ($keys as $key) {
    echo $key . '<br>';
}

If you use count attribute (4th parameter), the class generates a defined number of license keys.

These license keys will be returned to an array, therefore you can't use it directly.
