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: client interactions with the license have to be authorized using a license_key
• User-based product licenses: the license has a corresponding "license user" instead of a license key. Client interactions with the license have to be authorized using a username

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:
