### Remarks

If neither is\_maintdate nor is\_mainduration is specified, the maintenance plan is extended based on the maintenancePlanPeriodInDays settings in the QLM License Server config file (web.config). The default value of maintenancePlanPeriodInDays is 365 days.

If is\_maintdate and is\_maintduration are both specified, is\_maintdate takes precedence.

The format of the date in is\_maintdate is based on the dateFormat settings in the License Server config file (web.config). The default format is: YYYY-MM-dd.

When invoking this method from an eCommerce provider, you can customize the URL arguments for is\_avkey and is\_maintplan. Customization of these arguments requires subclassing of the eCommerce provider classes. For more details, contact us.
