# License Class

The **License** object provides access to the properties of your **Statelake** software license.

This is useful for accessing a unique ID value that is unique to your installation of **Statelake**. This can be used as an identifier in EDI traffic.

You can access the license object by referencing License.

By working with this **File Connection** object you can -

* Get the unique license key - retrieve a unique license key with **License.UserId** and **License.LicenseId**.
* Get the license name - retrieve the name the license is registered to with **License.LicenseName**.
* Get the license expiry date - retrieve the expiry date of the license with **License.LicenseExpiry**.

**Declaration**: License : TFloLicense

All of the license information can be found by running this stand-alone script.

```pascal
procedure ScriptEvent(var Value:Variant);
var
  WhoMe, WhoIt, WhoOwns : string;
  WhatDate : TDateTime;
begin
  LogInfo('');
 //The UeerID of the license
  WhoMe := License.UserId;
  LogInfo('The UserID is '+WhoMe);
 //The LicenseID as a string
  WhoIt := License.LicenseId;
  LogInfo('The LicenseID is '+WhoIt);
 //The expiry date of the license
  WhatDate := License.LicenseExpiry;
  LogInfo('The License expiry date is ' +FormatDateTime('dd/mm/yyyy', WhatDate));
 //The registered owner of the license
  WhoOwns := License.LicenseName;
