the client app can use to verify the authenticty of the response (see the response signature docid\ oucigcagcaikadwcbx9wk article for instructions on how to verify this signature) license authorization method there are two types of product licenses based on how the client application authorizes itself to interact with a license key based product licenses each license assigned to the product requires the client to provide a license key in order to activate, check or deactivate the license (property license key in the request body) the license response object will contain the license key property, and the property product details authorization method will be the string license key user based product licenses each license assigned to the product has a corresponding "license user" instead of a license key there are multiple ways a user based product license can be accessed when making a request by providing the values for username and password for the license user by providing the values for id token and customer account code if using single sign on authentication using implicit grant by providing the values for code and customer account code if using single sign on authentication using authorization code grant in the license response object, product details authorization method will have the string value user and the response object will contain the user object with information on the license user license types the license type property defines one of the 4 types of licenses based on their duration and how the license is used perpetual perpetual time limited time limited subscription subscription consumption consumption for more information see license types docid\ xhxttcvj7gs6qeaqu7cua errors if an error occurs, the response will have an http status code of 400 or higher, and the response body will contain an error description in the following format { status number, code string, message string } json schema { "$schema" "https //json
