# RequestAuthorizationCodeForActivationHttp

### Description

Initiates the process of activating a license by authorization code.

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 [ActivateKeyByAuthorizationCodeHttp](https://docs.soraco.co/docs/api-reference/http-methods/activatekeybyauthorizationcodehttp)

To invoke this method via a URL, append this function's name to the URL of the QLM License Server and add the required arguments.
