1.1 License Request Command

The licensing mechanism is based on RSA public key algorithm. Similar to previous versions, the license request file is generated directly using Secure SAM-BA Cipher. Then, to receive an own license file, the user must send the license request file to the following dedicated Microchip email address secure-sam-ba-request@microchip.com.

During the license request process, Secure SAM-BA Cipher generates a private key in PEM format and the license request file.

The license request file contains a header “SecureSamba_CK__LIC_REQ___0350__” followed by the device family name in the first line. The remaining lines contain the customer public key in PEM format.
