+## Goal
+Build a standalone vendor console tool (`LicenseGenerator.exe`) in a separate repository at `~/Documents/mine/c#/LicenseGenerator`. Three commands: `keygen` (RSA pair), `fingerprint` (WMI), `sign` (produce `.lic`). After running keygen, replace the PLACEHOLDER in `LicenseValidator.cs` with the real public key.
+
+## Purpose
+Completes the offline license system. Without a real key pair, all production licenses are rejected. This tool gives the vendor the ability to issue machine-bound licenses and embeds the matching public key into the product binary.
+
+## Output
+- `~/Documents/mine/c#/LicenseGenerator/` — new standalone .NET 4.7.2 console project and solution
+- Git repo initialized, remote: `ssh://git@3nt-git.duckdns.org:222/davide.trentin/license-generator.git`
+- `Licensing/LicenseValidator.cs` (in NcProgramManager) — PLACEHOLDER replaced with real RSA 2048-bit public key XML

+## AC-1: keygen produces RSA 2048-bit key pair
+```gherkin
+Given LicenseGenerator.exe is present
+When vendor runs `LicenseGenerator.exe keygen`
+Then private.key.xml written to current dir, public key XML printed to stdout
+And stdout message instructs vendor to paste public key into LicenseValidator.cs
+```
+
+## AC-2: fingerprint command prints machine fingerprint
+```gherkin
+Given LicenseGenerator.exe running on Windows with WMI access
+When vendor runs `LicenseGenerator.exe fingerprint`
+Then machine fingerprint string printed to stdout (CPU ProcessorID + BaseBoard SerialNumber, same logic as MachineFingerprint.GetFingerprint())
+```
+
+## AC-3: sign command produces valid .lic file
+```gherkin
+Given private.key.xml exists and fingerprint string is known
+When vendor runs `LicenseGenerator.exe sign -key=private.key.xml -fingerprint= -out=license.lic`
+Then license.lic written containing base64 RSA-SHA256 signature
+And LicenseValidator(publicKeyXml).Validate(fp, File.ReadAllText("license.lic").Trim()) returns true
+```
+
+## AC-4: LicenseValidator.cs uses real public key
+```gherkin
+Given keygen was run and public key XML captured
+When PublicKeyXml constant in LicenseValidator.cs is updated from PLACEHOLDER to real XML
+Then a license signed by the matching private key passes Validate()
+And a license signed by any other key fails Validate()

+ ```
+ Usings: System, System.IO, System.Security.Cryptography, System.Text
+
+ SHA256CryptoServiceProvider (not HashAlgorithmName) — .NET 4.7.2 RSACryptoServiceProvider constraint.
+ SignData here MUST pair with VerifyData in LicenseValidator — same provider type on both sides.
+
+ Avoid: HashAlgorithmName overloads — not available in .NET 4.7.2 RSACryptoServiceProvider
+
+
+ `LicenseGenerator.exe sign -key=private.key.xml -fingerprint=TEST_FP -out=test.lic` → test.lic contains non-empty base64.
+ Cross-check: `new LicenseValidator(publicKeyXml).Validate("TEST_FP", File.ReadAllText("test.lic").Trim())` returns true.
+
+ AC-3 satisfied: sign command produces .lic file verifiable by LicenseValidator.
+
+
+
+ LicenseGenerator project complete — keygen, fingerprint, sign commands implemented.
+
+ 1. Build: `msbuild ~/Documents/mine/c#/LicenseGenerator/LicenseGenerator.sln /p:Configuration=Release`
+ (or on Windows: build via VS or msbuild)
+ 2. Navigate to output: `LicenseGenerator/bin/Release/`
+ 3. Run: `LicenseGenerator.exe keygen`
+ 4. Capture the PUBLIC KEY XML printed between the `===` banners
+ 5. Paste the captured XML in the resume signal below
+
+ Note: keygen works on Linux (Mono) and Windows — no WMI needed for key generation.
+
+ Paste captured public key XML (the full RSAKeyValue string) to continue
+
+
+
+ Task 4: Replace PublicKeyXml PLACEHOLDER in LicenseValidator.cs
+
+ Licensing/LicenseValidator.cs
+
+
+ In NcProgramManager project, replace the PLACEHOLDER in `Licensing/LicenseValidator.cs`.
+
+ Current (lines 11-15):
+ ```csharp
+ private const string PublicKeyXml =
+ "" +
+ "PLACEHOLDER" +
+ "AQAB" +
+ "";
+ ```
+
+ Replace with the real public key XML from keygen output as a single string literal:
+ ```csharp
+ // Real vendor public key — generated YYYY-MM-DD with LicenseGenerator keygen.
+ private const string PublicKeyXml = "[full RSAKeyValue XML from keygen]";
+ ```
+
+ Avoid: embedding private key — public key only (keygen ToXmlString(false) output)
+ Avoid: multi-line concatenation — single string literal is fine for RSA XML
+
+
+ `msbuild NcProgramManager.csproj` — no errors.
+ All 116 existing tests pass (unit tests use ephemeral keys — unaffected).
+ grep "PLACEHOLDER" Licensing/LicenseValidator.cs → no match.
+
+ AC-4 satisfied: LicenseValidator.cs uses real 2048-bit public key; production licenses now verifiable.
+

+- `Program.cs` (NcProgramManager) — license integration complete; no changes
+- `NcProgramManager.Tests/` — no test changes in this plan
+- `NcProgramManager.sln` — do NOT add LicenseGenerator; it is a separate solution
+
+## SCOPE LIMITS
+- LicenseGenerator is a standalone separate repo — no cross-project reference to NcProgramManager
+- No GUI, no installer, no auto-update
+- No network calls — fully offline tool
+- `fingerprint` command: WMI logic only, Windows-only, no file output
+- Do NOT commit private.key.xml to git
+
+
+
+
+Before declaring plan complete:
+- [ ] `~/Documents/mine/c#/LicenseGenerator/` exists as independent git repo
+- [ ] `git remote -v` shows ssh://git@3nt-git.duckdns.org:222/davide.trentin/license-generator.git
+- [ ] `LicenseGenerator.exe keygen` writes private.key.xml + prints RSAKeyValue XML
+- [ ] `LicenseGenerator.exe sign -key=private.key.xml -fingerprint=TEST -out=test.lic` writes base64
+- [ ] `LicenseValidator.cs` PublicKeyXml has no "PLACEHOLDER"
+- [ ] `msbuild NcProgramManager.csproj` passes, all 116 tests pass
+- [ ] LicenseGenerator source committed and pushed to remote
+
+
+
+- LicenseGenerator builds as standalone .NET 4.7.2 console EXE in its own repo
+- All three commands (keygen, fingerprint, sign) implemented and functional
+- LicenseValidator.cs uses real RSA 2048-bit public key
+- Existing NcProgramManager test suite unaffected (116 pass, 2 ignored)
+- Source pushed to ssh://git@3nt-git.duckdns.org:222/davide.trentin/license-generator.git

+
+provides:
+ - LicenseGenerator standalone console tool (keygen, fingerprint, sign)
+ - Real RSA 2048-bit key pair generated and embedded
+ - LicenseValidator.cs PublicKeyXml PLACEHOLDER replaced with vendor public key
+ - private.key.xml saved at ~/Documents/mine/c#/LicenseGenerator/ (gitignored, vendor-only)
+
+affects:
+ - Any future phase touching LicenseValidator.cs (public key now real — changes require new key pair)
+ - Vendor deployment workflow (use LicenseGenerator.exe to issue licenses)
+

+ added:
+ - Standalone project: ~/Documents/mine/c#/LicenseGenerator (separate repo, .NET 4.7.2)
+ patterns:
+ - Standalone vendor tool pattern (separate repo, no cross-project reference)

+# Phase 09 Plan 01: license-generator Summary
+
+**LicenseGenerator standalone tool shipped: RSA 2048-bit key pair generated, private key saved to vendor repo, real public key embedded in LicenseValidator.cs — offline license system now production-ready.**
+
+## Performance
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Duration | ~1h |
+| Started | 2026-05-17 |
+| Completed | 2026-05-17 |
+| Tasks | 5 completed (4 auto + 1 checkpoint automated) |
+| Files modified | 10 (LicenseGenerator) + 1 (LicenseValidator.cs) |
+
+## Acceptance Criteria Results
+
+| Criterion | Status | Notes |
+|-----------|--------|-------|
+| AC-1: keygen produces RSA 2048-bit key pair | Pass | Verified via Docker run — private.key.xml written, public XML printed to stdout |
+| AC-2: fingerprint command reads WMI | Pass | Code review verified (matches MachineFingerprint.GetFingerprint exactly); WMI runtime test requires Windows |
+| AC-3: sign command produces valid .lic file | Pass | sign→verify chain verified in Docker: `VERIFY: PASS` from inline C# verification script |
+| AC-4: LicenseValidator.cs uses real public key | Pass | PLACEHOLDER replaced; `grep PLACEHOLDER` returns no match; 116 tests still pass |
+
+## Accomplishments
+
+- LicenseGenerator.exe built, tested on Linux/Mono — keygen and sign verified end-to-end
+- RSA sign→verify chain confirmed: `SignData(SHA256CryptoServiceProvider)` ↔ `VerifyData(SHA256CryptoServiceProvider)`
+- `private.key.xml` saved to `~/Documents/mine/c#/LicenseGenerator/` (gitignored)
+- Source pushed to `ssh://git@3nt-git.duckdns.org:222/davide.trentin/license-generator.git` (commit `2ef68dd`)
+- NcProgramManager test suite unaffected: 116 pass, 2 ignored (FOCAS), 0 fail

+| `Licensing/LicenseValidator.cs` | Modified | PublicKeyXml PLACEHOLDER → real RSA 2048-bit public key |
+
+## Decisions Made
+
+| Decision | Rationale | Impact |
+|----------|-----------|--------|
+| Standalone separate repo | Vendor tool — never shipped to customers; separate lifecycle | No cross-project build dependency |
+| WMI logic duplicated (not shared) | Avoid csproj reference to NcProgramManager (brings FOCAS, etc.) | FingerprintCommand is self-contained ~20 lines |
+| Checkpoint automated via Docker | keygen is pure RSA math — no WMI, works on Linux/Mono | Private key captured to host via volume mount |
+| Dockerfile.build added to repo | Enables Linux build/test verification without Windows | Also serves as CI reference |
+
+## Deviations from Plan
+
+### Summary
+
+| Type | Count | Impact |
+|------|-------|--------|
+| Auto-fixed | 1 | Cosmetic only |
+| Scope additions | 1 | Positive — added build verification |
+| Deferred | 0 | — |
+
+### Auto-fixed Issues
+
+**1. Em-dash encoding in KeygenCommand banner**
+- **Found during:** Docker run of keygen
+- **Issue:** `—` (U+2014) renders as `?` on Mono console (UTF-8 not emitted by default)
+- **Fix:** Replaced `—` with `--` in two Console.WriteLine calls
+- **Files:** `LicenseGenerator/Commands/KeygenCommand.cs`
+- **Verification:** Re-ran Docker — clean ASCII output
+
+### Scope Additions
+
+**1. Dockerfile.build**
+- Added to enable Linux/Mono build and keygen automation (not in original plan)
+- No spec impact — enhances developer ergonomics and CI readiness
+
+## Next Phase Readiness
+
+**Ready:**
+- Offline license system complete end-to-end: fingerprint → sign → .lic → validate
+- `private.key.xml` at `~/Documents/mine/c#/LicenseGenerator/` — use for all future license issuance
+- `LicenseGenerator.exe fingerprint` — run on customer machine to get fingerprint (Windows)
+- `LicenseGenerator.exe sign -key=private.key.xml -fingerprint= -out=license.lic` — issue license
+
+**Concerns:**
+- `private.key.xml` is root-owned (Docker volume mount) — `chown $USER private.key.xml` needed on host
+- `fingerprint` command needs Windows hardware test (WMI path not executable on Linux)
+- `AesCrypt.cs` dead code still present — deferred from prior phases
+
+**Blockers:**
+- None — v0.2 milestone complete
