UpdateLicenseHttp

Description

Updates an existing license by modifying one or more of the following attributes:

  • Features associated with a license

  • The expiry date of the license

  • Duration of the license

  • Major and Minor version of the product

  • Product Properties

  • Quantity

  • UserData

  • Affiliate ID

  • Revocation state

  • Max Release Count and Max Release Period

To call this function, you must set the enableUpgradeLicense server property to true.

Unlike the UpgradeLicense method which generates a new Activation Key, UpdateLicense simply updates an existing license without generating a new Activation Key.

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.

Remarks

The syntax for setting a product property is:

&is_pp=<category>.<name>::value::expiryDate||<category>.<name>::value::expiryDate||...

Example

https://qlm3.net/qlmdemo/qlmLicenseServer/qlmservice.asmx/UpdateLicenseHttp?is_vendor=fastspring&is_productid=2&is_majorversion=1&is_minorversion=0&is_expduration=23&is_features=0:7&is_pp=quality.module_qa::abc::2017-12-31||quality.module_control::true||quality.module_validation::76

The expiry date is optional and available for QLM Enterprise customers. The expected expiry date format is: "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss".

In addition, for product properties of type integer, you can increment or decrement an existing value by prefixing the value with the + or - sign.

For example, in the URL below, the quality.module_validation will be decremented by 2.

https://qlm3.net/qlmdemo/qlmLicenseServer/qlmservice.asmx/UpdateLicenseHttp?is_vendor=fastspring&is_productid=2&is_majorversion=1&is_minorversion=0&is_expduration=23&is_features=0:7&is_pp=quality.module_validation::-2

Note that due to URL encoding rules, the + sign should be replaced by %2B. For example, in the URL below, the quality.module_validation will be incremented by 2.

https://qlm3.net/qlmdemo/qlmLicenseServer/qlmservice.asmx/UpdateLicenseHttp?is_vendor=fastspring&is_productid=2&is_majorversion=1&is_minorversion=0&is_expduration=23&is_features=0:7&is_pp=quality.module_validation::%2B2
