topics covered on this page floating feature registration using /featureregister and /check license feature floating feature release using /featurerelease and /feature release releasing all floating feature registrations using /featurerelease/all and /feature release/all offline floating feature starting from release v1 4 11, the floating server now supports offline floating features this functionality allows customers to add offline floating features to a product and licenses built for that product these can then be imported into the floating server, enabling the registration and release of users into that feature entirely offline on their premises to add these features to a product, navigate to the product within the vendor platform, select the "features" tab, and click on the "add product feature" button in the popup window, after specifying the feature's name, code, and other details, check the "offline floating feature" checkbox, as shown in the image below the api endpoints associated with floating features are listed below feature register registers a user to a specific feature of a license on the floating server requires a username , along with the product code and feature code name register a user to a floating feature of a product method post url http localhost 8080 api v4 featureregister description tab examples examples languages id imnckyirunsmo7amxtncj language javascript code var myheaders new headers ;
