Remarks

The XmlActivationService documentation should be referenced for the most current information.

Caution note Caution

Any Product Options in SOLO Server which you intend to use when issuing License IDs which will be validated with this method must have the "Issue Installation ID" option enabled, and must be activated with ActivateInstallation or ActivateInstallationLicenseFile. Please refer to the SOLO Server manual for details.

Examples
This example shows how to make a typical activation call for a PLUSManaged license:
public bool DecrementLicenseCounterOnline(AuthorEncryptionKey encryptionKey,
    string installationId, ref licenseCounter, ref LicenseError lastError)
{
    //make sure we have an Installation ID to use first
    if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(installationId))
    {
        lastError = new LicenseError(LicenseError.ERROR_INSTALLATIONID_REQUIRED);
        return false;
    }

    DecrementLicenseCounter ws = new DecrementLicenseCounter(encryptionKey);
    ws.InstallationID = installationId;
    ws.DecrementAmount = 1;

    XmlActivationService client = new XmlActivationService();
    // If you are using SOLO Server Dedicated URL or a self-hosted instance of SOLO Server,
    // set the client.Url property here.  You may also configure proxy settings on this object here, if necessary.
    ws.WebServiceClient = client;

    if (!ws.CallWebService())
    {
        lastError = ws.LastError;
        return false;
    }

    licenseCounter = ws.LicenseCounter;
    return true;
}
