EA_GetSharedAddinName
As an Add-In writer you can distribute keys to your Add-In via the Enterprise Architect Keystore, provided that your keys are added using a prefix that allows the system to identify the Add-In to which they belong. EA_GetSharedAddinName is called to determine what prefix the Add-In is using. If a matching key is found in the keystore the 'License Management' dialog will display the name returned by EA_AddinLicenseGetDescription to your users. Finally, when the user selects a key, that key will be passed to your Add-In to validate by calling EA_AddinLicenseValidate.Syntax

We recommend that you contact Sparx Systems directly with proposed values to ensure that you don't clash with any other Add-Ins.
For example, these keys would all be interpreted as belonging to an Add-In returning MYADDIN from this function:
