using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using QMSAPI;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
//Create the new license
License newLicense = new License();
newLicense.LicenseType = LicenseType.Publisher;
newLicense.Serial = "<A valid serial number>";
newLicense.Control = "<A valid control number>";
newLicense.Name = "<Some name>";
newLicense.Corporation = "<Some corporation>";
newLicense.LEFFile = System.IO.File.ReadAllText("<Path to LEF file>");
// create a QMS API client
IQMS apiClient = new QMSClient();
//retrieve a time limited service key
ServiceKeyClientMessageInspector.ServiceKey = apiClient.GetTimeLimitedServiceKey();
//Set the license
string result = apiClient.SaveLicense(newLicense, Guid.Empty);
//Check the result
if(result != string.Empty)
Console.WriteLine("License was successfully set.");
else
Console.WriteLine("Error when setting the license: " + result);
}
