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.)

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 license or 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 and retrieves a generated license.

You may need to call GetLicense multiple times after creating a license request, because it can take from a few seconds up to a few minutes to get the generated license. Your application should account for this by displaying an appropriate wait icon/message and calling the LAC_GetLicense function multiple times until the request succeeds. We recommend calling LAC_GetLicense no more often than once every 10 seconds.

On failure, this function returns an error code in the format described in SOAP API return codes.
