REST APIs from FlexNet Licensing operations.

Hi @ejohnson1 ,

thanks for the reply, Will check the API and respond. 

Actually I want to avoid SDK and implement the same using SOAP web services. As per your reply, still there is a dependency on SDK for decoding the addonLicense ...etc attributes.

Please clarify.

Hi Ravi,

Yes, the response requires decoding from base64 and more importantly, the response requires processing by the SDK API.

The analogy I would use is the response is the equivalent of a gift card (e.g. Starbucks) and redeeming the card for a coffee / license is the equivalent of tapping the card (e.g. QR code decode) then receiving your coffee (processing the license via the SDK API).

HI @ejohnson1 ,

thanks for the reply.

Since the  SDK library size is more, if we use SOAP/REST the solution would be light weight. Hence, would like to reduce SDK foot print.

Hi Ravi,

REST is the lightest of light weight available.

Once configured, it's a single API (access_request), which does the capability exchange and license acquisition in one go (no processing of  the capability response)

Hi @ejohnson1 ,

for using SOAP web services, can you point to the guide to understand more about the client authentication part and also which credentials to be used.
