Examples
The following code example uses the QMS API to retrieve the Publisher and QlikViewServer licenses and prints them to the console.
The service key injection is assumed to be handled behind the scenes. For an example of how to inject the service key, see Samples.
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using QMSAPI;
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
// create a QMS API client
IQMS apiClient = new QMSClient();
//retrieve a time limited service key
ServiceKeyClientMessageInspector.ServiceKey = apiClient.GetTimeLimitedServiceKey();
List<License> licenses = new List<License>();
// get the publisher license
License publisherLicense = apiClient.GetLicense(LicenseType.Publisher, Guid.Empty);
if (publisherLicense != null)
licenses.Add(publisherLicense);
ServiceInfo qvsService = apiClient.GetServices(ServiceTypes.QlikViewServer).FirstOrDefault();
if (qvsService != null)
{
// get a QlikViewServer license
License qlikViewServerLicense = apiClient.GetLicense(LicenseType.QlikViewServer, qvsService.ID);
if (qlikViewServerLicense != null)
licenses.Add(qlikViewServerLicense);
}
//Write license information
licenses.ForEach(currentLicense =>
{
Console.WriteLine(currentLicense.LicenseType);
Console.WriteLine(currentLicense.Name);
Console.WriteLine(currentLicense.Corporation);
Console.WriteLine(currentLicense.Serial);
});
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("An exception occurred: " + ex.Message);
}
// wait for user to press any key
Console.ReadLine();
}
}
