Manage licenses using Graph API
Grant licenses
To an organization:
POST /graph/ProductPackage[@title='DemoPackage']
operation=InitializeOrganizationLicenses&licensedItemCount=HOW_MANY_LICENSES&ownerOrganizationId=ORGANIZATION_ID&validFrom=ISO_8601_TIMESTAMP&validUntil=ISO_8601_TIMESTAMP
To an individual user:
POST /graph/ProductPackage[@title='DemoPackage']
operation=InitializePersonalLicenses&licensedItemCount=HOW_MANY_LICENSES&initializeForProfileId=PROFILE_ID&validFrom=ISO_8601_TIMESTAMP&validUntil=ISO_8601_TIMESTAMP
Change license validity
For an organization license:
POST /graph/License[@id='LICENSE_ID']
change=validity&validFrom=ISO_8601_TIMESTAMP&validUntil=ISO_8601_TIMESTAMP&operation=InitializeOrganizationLicenses&ownerOrganizationId=ORGANIZATION_ID
For a personal license:
POST /graph/License[@id='LICENSE_ID']
change=validity&validFrom=ISO_8601_TIMESTAMP&validUntil=ISO_8601_TIMESTAMP&operation=InitializePersonalLicenses&initializeForProfileId=PROFILE_ID
Change a license’s count or quota
For an organization license:
POST /graph/License[@id='LICENSE_ID']
change=quota&licensedItemCount=NEW_COUNT&operation=InitializeOrganizationLicenses&ownerOrganizationId=ORGANIZATION_ID
For a personal license:
POST /graph/License[@id='LICENSE_ID']
change=quota&licensedItemCount=NEW_COUNT&operation=InitializePersonalLicenses&initializeForProfileId=PROFILE_ID
Change a license’s maximum aggregated use time
For an organization license:
POST /graph/License[@id='LICENSE_ID']
change=aggregateUseTime&maxAggregateUseTime=NEW_TIME_LIMIT_MILLISECONDS&incrementModel=NEW_INCREMENT_MODEL&operation=InitializeOrganizationLicenses&ownerOrganizationId=ORGANIZATION_ID
For a personal license:
POST /graph/License[@id='LICENSE_ID']
change=aggregateUseTime&maxAggregateUseTime=NEW_TIME_LIMIT_MILLISECONDS&incrementModel=NEW_INCREMENT_MODEL&operation=InitializePersonalLicenses&initializeForProfileId=PROFILE_ID
The supported incrementModel
values are fair
OR append
. See more information on how the values work in the AggregateUseConstraint
constraint.
Note: This API request allows setting the maximum use time after granting the licenses. The convenience is that there’s no need for multiple license models that define different values. The customer-specific time value can be set in a customer-specific way.
License consumption by organization
GET /graph/Organization[@name='Acme Inc']/~OneToMany/Entitlement/~OneToMany/License/~OneToMany/Assignment:LicenseProfileAssignment/~OneToMany/Consumption:LicenseProfileAssignmentConsumption
Who is using an organization’s licenses
GET /graph/Organization/~OneToMany/Entitlement/~OneToMany/License/~Assignment:LicenseProfileAssignment/~ManyToOne/Profile
List an organization’s licenses with names of users
GET /graph/Organization/~OneToMany/Entitlement/~OneToMany/License?/~ManyToOne/LicensedItem&/~Assignment:LicenseProfileAssignment/Profile
Reserve a license seat
If a license uses a named-seat license model, a license seat is reserved for the user by creating a reservation assignment.
A static reservation can be also used with floating licences to reserve a license seat for critical users.
POST /graph/
operation=CreateOrUpdateAssignments&createAssignment=true&profileId=PROFILE_ID&reservationType=reserved&licenseId=LICENSE_ID
Remove a seat reservation
If you need to change the named license seat to another user or otherwise remove a seat reservation from a user, you clear the reservation by resetting the reservation type of an assignment.
This operation doesn’t affect the existing session, that is, the seat’s lease period promised in the last license check. The user can use the same reserved seat until they release it or the lease period expires.
POST /graph/
operation=CreateOrUpdateAssignments&createAssignment=true&profileId=PROFILE_ID&reservationType=&licenseId=LICENSE_ID
Deny license consumption
License consumption can be denied from specific users by creating a denial assignment.
After denial, the user can consume the license until the end of the session, that is, the period promised in the last license check.
POST /graph/
operation=CreateOrUpdateAssignments&createAssignment=true&profileId=PROFILE_ID&reservationType=denied&licenseId=LICENSE_ID
Remove denial
To clear the denial state, that is, to allow a user to consume a floating license, the reservation type of assignment is reset (the same operation as when clearing a seat reservation).
POST /graph/
operation=CreateOrUpdateAssignments&createAssignment=true&profileId=PROFILE_ID&reservationType=&licenseId=LICENSE_ID
Release licenses
POST /authz/?AssignmentConsumptionId&release
To find out AssignmentConsumptionId:
-
If you have the client application that called the license check, you probably have the
jti
field from the token stored. Thejti
field value is the identifier of the consumption, and you can use it in the/authz/?release
call.{ "DemoItem1": true, "iss": "df585c1b-f09d-4c04-87f8-b72a515c6f3e", "exp": 1452750138, "iat": 1452690138, "ibe": 101452690135, "jti": "5e3831d6-352e-48c8-84a7-54ecc651fa0e", "rfr": 1452690738 }
-
If it’s a user or client application you don’t have access to, you can use the following call with the profile id. This reads all consumption lease identifiers that are the result of that specific user consuming the licenses. Using that result set you can iterate over it and call
/authz/?release
with each leaseId:GET /graph/Profile[@id='PROFILE_ID_HERE]/Assignment:LicenseProfileAssignment/~OneToMany/Consumption:LicenseProfileAssignmentConsumption/@leaseId
