```

### Example error response

<QuickLicenseManager>
<error>Details about the error</error>
</QuickLicenseManager>

## Remarks

If the server identifies a license key that corresponds to the user, an Authorization Code is generated and sent to the customer by email or SMS. The client application must then call QlmLicense.ActivateLicenseByAuthorizationCode.

Use [ParseResults ](https://docs.soraco.co/docs/api-reference/.net-api/iqlmcustomerinfo/methods/parseresults)to interpret the results of the call and load the returned data into an [ILicenseInfo ](https://docs.soraco.co/docs/api-reference/.net-api/ilicenseinfo)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
}
```
