Activates a license and returns complete license information with metadata.

POST
/api/v1/provision/activations/license
curl --request POST \
--url https://example.com/api/v1/provision/activations/license \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{ "activationCode": "example", "fingerprint": "example", "components": "example", "deviceName": "example", "applicationScope": "example", "applicationInstanceId": "example", "email": "example", "requestedLeaseDurationSeconds": 1, "targetSoftwareVersion": "example", "useInteractiveUser": true, "tryMode": true }'

Returns extended metadata: provider info, legal notices, public key for token verification, licensed product IDs. Prefer this when the client needs to display legal / product information or cache verification key. Error codes same as /jwt endpoint.

X-Correlation-Id
string
Idempotency-Key
string

Optional Idempotency-Key header. A retry carrying a key already seen returns the original session (re-validated) instead of claiming another seat. The retry must repeat the same request — same activation code, fingerprint and caller identity; a key presented with a different request is rejected as a conflict.

Represents a request to obtain (or check availability for) a license activation. All nullable fields are optional depending on the activation policy.

object
activationCode

Activation (or license) code required to identify entitlement or activation workflow.

string
0 <= 100 characters
fingerprint

The fingerprint is used to bind the license to a specific device or environment and therefore should be unique (as possible). This acts as identifier for binding a license to a seat.

null | string
0 <= 100 characters
components

Optional per-component one-way hashes of the device identity (well-known keys: MachineName, MacAddress, OsVersion, UserName). Enables the entitlement’s ComponentMatchingStrategy (MatchAny/Two/Most) during session-reuse lookup. Additive: when omitted the server falls back to exact-equality on string? LicenseRequestDto.Fingerprint (MatchAll). Values are hashed on-device; raw component values never leave the client.

null | object
deviceName

The device name is optional (but highly recommended) additional information about the device (e.g. for display in management UIs).

null | string
0 <= 100 characters
applicationScope

The license is bound to restricted to the provided application scope. This is to ensure that the activation code is used only for its intended application.

null | string
0 <= 100 characters
applicationInstanceId

Identifies the specific application or process that holds this license when concurrent licensing is enabled. Relevant when multiple processes on the same hardware require separate licenses.

null | string
0 <= 100 characters
email

End-user email (used for identity verification or association). Optional depending on policy.

null | string
0 <= 254 characters
requestedLeaseDurationSeconds

Desired lease duration, in seconds. Advisory: the server currently ignores this value and derives the lease duration from the entitlement’s license-allocation policy.

null | integer | string format: int32
<= 2147483647 /^-?(?:0|[1-9]\d*)$/
targetSoftwareVersion

Software version requesting activation (policy may restrict allowed software versions).

null | string
0 <= 100 characters
useInteractiveUser

When true, the server will resolve the authenticated user’s identity and find entitlements assigned to that user (via EntitlementPrincipal). Requires an authenticated request with a valid user token. The activation code may be omitted when this is true and the user has exactly one assigned entitlement.

boolean
tryMode

When true, string LicenseRequestDto.ActivationCode is read as an offer’s public try code and the server answers with the calling device’s own short-lived license, issuing one if the device has none. string? LicenseRequestDto.Fingerprint is required: the try code is public, so it identifies the offer and never the caller, and a request that names no device is refused.

License activated successfully – returns complete license information.

Media typeapplication/json

End user license token with meta data.

object
licenseToken

The signed license JWT the SDK validates offline against the provider’s public key.

isAvailableDuringTrialPeriod
boolean
isAvailableDuringGracePeriod
boolean
isPaidFeature

When true, the feature is withheld for the duration of a trial even if enabled.

boolean
isDenied

The issuer’s verdict that this license explicitly does not grant the feature. Validation treats it as final, while the feature stays present for display — a locked capability can still be shown, and reaching for it is counted as a denied check.
