ValidateLicenseOnServerEx3

Description

Performs the following validations on the License Server:

• Checks if the time on the client system is synchronized with the License Server.

• Calls IsLicenseKeyRevokedEx to check if the license was revoked in which case the Activation Key and Computer Key are automatically deleted from the local system.

• Calls IsIllegalComputer to check whether the ActivationKey and ComputerKey are registered in the database. If the computer is detected as an illegal computer, the Activation Key and Computer Key are automatically deleted from the local system.

• If the server reports that the license has expired, the Computer Key stored on the local system is deleted.

• Publishes Analytics to the server if PublishAnalytics is set to true.

• Records the last time connection to the server was made in order to enforce the MaxDaysOffline setting.

• Verifies whether the system has exceeded the MaxDaysOffline setting.

• Returns whether the server has more up-to-date values for the SubscriptionExpiryDate, Features, and FloatingSeats.
