Online
Adding a product license online is an essential operation that allows for real-time license activation and management through the Floating Server. Below, you will find the steps to add a license using either the Floating Server API or User Interface.
To add a license to the Floating Server, you can use the /addProduct API endpoint. This requires passing the product code along with either the license key or username/password combination as query parameters.
To add a license, you need to provide the product code along with the required credentials. Once the license is successfully added, it will appear in the licenses list, along with its unique license ID.
Starting from version 1.6.0:
- Multiple licenses (and corresponding license IDs) can now be associated with a single product code.
- After adding a license, its license ID can be used to address the specific license for further actions, as described in the following sections of this documentation.
For more detailed information, visit Add license.
In the Floating Server UI, you can activate a license online using either User Authentication or Key Authentication. Follow the steps below based on the authentication method you choose.
This method requires you to provide the product code, along with the username and password associated with the license.
Steps:
- Select "User auth" from the dropdown in the "Add product" section.
- Enter the Product Code, Username, and Password.
- Click Add to activate the license.
This method requires you to enter the product code and license key.
Steps:
- Select "Key auth" from the dropdown in the "Add product" section.
- Enter the Product Code and License Key.
- Click Add to activate the license.
After adding multiple licenses to a product, you can retrieve a complete list of these licenses by sending a request to the /productLicensesendpoint with the product code. This endpoint was introduced in version v1.6.0.
To refresh or update an online license, there is no need for a dedicated endpoint or specific location in the UI. You can simply re-add the existing license. For example, if License A is already visible in the UI, you can still navigate to the page and add License A again, which will effectively refresh it.
