Activate License (Offline Method)

currently we support trial, perpetual and consumption license types for offline activation purposes schema request body the request body is a string representing a base64 encoded json object containing all the required activation data if using "multipart/form data" for the request, the "file" form parameter is mandatory type licenseofflineactivationobject = ({ // for key based licenses license key string } | { // for user based licenses username string password string }) & { // required properties hardware id string product string request id string signature string date string request "activation" } & ({ api key string // for api key authorization } | { client id string // for oauth authorization }) & { // optional properties bundle code? string | undefined license id?

response signature the response objects two digital signatures which the client app can use to verify the authenticty of the response license signature is the hmac sha256 signature explained in the response signature docid\ oucigcagcaikadwcbx9wk article offline signature is an additional hmac sha256 signature specific to this endpoint this value is constructed identically to the signature parameter in the request payload (see activate license (offline method) docid\ h vewme7ryj7qfbikvgup above) using the date value received in the response 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 requires username and password to be provided 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 device variables the optional variables parameter lets you set device variables during activation for more information on how device variables work, see device variables docid\ r2cnekm7ruff u0jkm0lw 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 schema org/draft/2020 12/schema", "type" "object", "properties" { "status" { "type" "number" }, "code" { "type" "string" }, "message" { "type" "string" } }, "required" \[ "status", "code", "message" ], "additionalproperties" false } list of exceptions missing headers (400) some headers are missing when missing authorization or date headers missing parameters (400) some parameters are missing in the request different, parameters when no request body at all or no file found in request body authorization missing params (400) some parameters are missing in authorization different, parameters when has request body but request body is not properly base 64 encoded when file is missing in request body when license key or hardware id body parameters are missing when data body parameter is missing when api key parameter is missing if you want to use this api endpoint directly, instead of using sdk, which does most of heavy lifting for you, please contact us for additional instructions
