license authorization method section below) plus a newline the "hardware id" value from the request payload object plus a newline the "api key" value from the request payload object this complete

the http code 200 and the string license deactivated 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 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 when missing authorization or date headers when no request body at all or no file found in request body 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 guide on using offline licenses if any aspect of the
