Custom Fields

5min


A custom field is a key:value pair that is defined for a given product, which you can override for any license you issue or edit.

For more information on defining product custom fields, please read Product Custom Fields.

If defined, the key and the value of a custom field is always returned on License Checks and License Activations. You may modify the value for any custom field for each license.
