The LAC_CreateLicenseRequest function will create a license request and generate a license.
Prototype
LAC_STATUS LAC_CreateLicenseRequest
(
const char *szActivationKey,
const char *szHostid,
const char *szUrl,
const char *szProxyHostname,
int nProxyPort,
const char *szProxyUsername,
const char *szProxyPassword,
char *szResult
);
Parameters
szActivationKey
[in] Activation key (for example, 9EFJK-TVJM0-MCDET-EZKXJ).
szHostid
[in] A client-side HostID, in the format HostID_type=value (for example, HOSTNAME=my_hostname). To provide more than one HostID, use a comma-separated HostID list (HostID_type1=value1, HostID_type2=value2, etc.), from which LAC will select the first appropriate value. This value should be NULL if not relevant. See your license manager documentation for valid HostID types. (For LM-X License Manager, see the LM-X Developers Manual.)
When entering an Ethernet HostID, the format must be 12 hexadecimal characters with or without separators; for example, 48-2C-6A-1E-59-3D, 00:50:A7:B6-CC-1A or ABC82739BEFA. LM-X 16-character encrypted Ethernet HostIDs are no longer supported.
szUrl
[in] SOAP API endpoint URL. This value should be set to http://license.x-formation.com/soap/type/enduser/version/2.
szProxyHostname
[in] An optional client-side proxy host to be used with a request. This value should be NULL if not relevant.
Note: This function will attempt to contact LAC directly if no proxy is specified, so if you have a firewall or router that redirects traffic, ensure your configuration handles this correctly.
nProxyPort
[in] An optional client-side proxy port number to be used with a request. This value should be 0 if not relevant.
szProxyUsername
[in] An optional client-side proxy username to be used with a request. This value should be NULL if not relevant.
szProxyPassword
[in] An optional client-side proxy password to be used with a request. This value should be NULL if not relevant.
szResult
[out] Pointer to a string that will hold the error message. The string length can be up to LAC_MAX_RESPONSE_LENGTH.
Return Values
On success, this function returns the status code LAC_SUCCESS. The license can then be retrieved using LAC_GetLicense.
On failure, this function returns an error code in the format described in SOAP API return codes.
