Connecting a Client

To connect a client to the Floating Server, you can register users, manage licenses, and track consumption through the API. While the API provides a flexible way to manage these tasks programmatically, the UI also offers insights and visibility into license usage and consumption.

To register a new user on the Floating Server, use the API to send a POST request. The API allows you to provide details such as product code, user info, and host information.

You can remove a user from the system by sending an API request to unregister them. The server will remove the user's registration for the given product.

To quickly remove all users registered to a product, use the unregister/all API endpoint. This will clear all user registrations for a specific product.

If a user needs to "borrow" a license for use in an offline scenario, the API allows you to reserve a license slot for a user until a specific date.

The Floating Server's user interface also allows for easy management of client registrations, license usage, and consumption tracking without requiring API knowledge. For more information about the capabilities of the UI related to registrations, see Registrations.
