A new keystring begins at the keyword: SERVER, LICENSE, UPGRADE or EXTEND.
The SERVER keystring is a keystring which authenticates the computer to run Houdini licenses.
A Houdini product keystring begins with the word LICENSE. The LICENSE keystring has an ID associated to it called the License ID. This is how we track the product, quantity, version, expiry, and support status of the license.
Action keystrings begins with UPGRADE or EXTEND or CHANGEIP. These are applied to a currently installed License ID (or, product keystring).
When you return a license, you must return the License ID itself. This will return the product keystring.
