QlmLicense.ReleaseLicense

Releases a license key over the internet. To use a proxy server, you must set the UseProxyServer, ProxyUser, ProxyDomain and ProxyPassword properties prior to calling this function.

You can control how many times a user can release a license with the following Server Properties:

• maxReleaseCount: The maximum number of times an end-user can release a license.
• maxReleasePeriodInDays: When counting the number of released licenses, only count the ones that have been released in the past "maxReleasePeriodInDays" days. For example, if you want to allow a user to release a license twice per month, set maxReleasePeriodInDays to 30 and maxReleaseCount to 2.
• maxReleasePerClient: When counting the number of released licenses for a given activation key, count only the ones associated to a specific client. By default, QLM counts all the released licenses for a given activation regardless of the client system.

By default, you must set the CommunicationEncryptionKey before calling ReleaseLicense. The server property releaseLicenseUseAdminEncryptionKey can be used to configure the server to require the AdminEncryption to be set in order to call ReleaseLicense.
