QlmLicense.CreateDeactivationCode

Creates a deactivation verification code.

A deactivation verification code is used to confirm that a user has indeed deactivated his/her license from a computer that is offline. If you are using your own user interface for activation/deactivation, you can use this function to generate a deactivation verification code. After the user deactivates his/her license, you need to display the code to the user and ask the user to send you that code. 

You can then use the Deactivation code in 3 different contexts:

• When deactivating a key from the QLM Management Console / Manage Keys / Deactivate
• When deactivating a key from the QLM Portal / Release
• When deactivating a key from the QLM Self Help. To enable the DVC in the QLM Self Help, you must set the Server Property customerSite/showDeactivationVerificationCode to true.

Note that a deactivation verification code expires in 1 day.

To create your own function to calculate the deactivation code, you need to compute the MD5 hash of the following concatenated strings 

• Activation Key (without dashes)|ComputerID|CommunicationEncryptionKey|Current date (yyyy-MM-dd)

C#: string CreateDeactivationCode(string activationKey, string computerID, ELicenseBinding licenseBinding)

Parameters

 Activation Key: The Activation Key being deactivated

 Computer ID: The computerID of the computer being deactivated. This value can be empty if the LicenseBinding argument is set to a specific value.

 License Binding: The license binding value. The computerID will be calculated based on the license binding value. This parameter is not required if computerID is specified.

Return

A deactivation verification code
