## Remarks

You must call [DefineProduct ](/docs/api-reference/.net-api/qlmlicense/client-side-methods/defineproduct.md)before calling this function.

Use [ParseResults ](/docs/api-reference/.net-api/iqlmcustomerinfo/methods/parseresults.md)to interpret the results of the call and load the returned data into an [ILicenseInfo ](/docs/api-reference/.net-api/ilicenseinfo.md)object.

```csharp
ILicenseInfo li = new LicenseInfo();
string message = string.Empty;
if (lv.QlmLicenseObject.ParseResults(response, ref li, ref message))
{
  // The operation  was successful	
}
else
{
  // The operation failed
}
```
