ACT-01Window: machine id and activation

What this test proves

The Activator window shows what support needs and activates keys.

How it is tested

  1. Automated: start DicomKitActivator.exe and read the window with Windows UI Automation
  2. Automated: check that the Machine ID field equals `dicomkit-activate machine-id --json` and that "User: <Windows user>" is shown
  3. By a person: paste the Developer, Pro and Enterprise keys in turn and press Activate; each must report success
  4. By a person: try the revoked key; it must be refused with a clear message
  5. The person's results and screenshots are recorded and shown as performed by a person

Expected result for each license type

  • Developer: Works
  • Pro: Works
  • Enterprise: Works
  • Revoked: Refused: refused, naming the required tier (basics keep working)

Recorded evidence

Captured by the automated test during the run, per license and .NET version.

Developer .NET 8.0
Activator 1.0.0 window: pasted the Developer key and pressed Activate; it activated, but the badge read 'Enterprise — active' (the tier the free Developer license is signed at)
Fixed in Activator 1.0.1 (now on the Downloads page): the same license shows 'Developer — active' with 'every feature, for development and testing only (not for production)'; checked in the 1.0.1 window
Activating the same Developer key twice gives the same Developer license both times (shipped command line, same code as the window)
