How to get the license activation detail from LimeLMAnswered

Hi,

We have a scenario where we will use LimeLM Web API to generate the license, which I believe can be done through limelm.pkey.generate which will return the product key. But we would like to know when the customer has activated the license, is there a way to configure Pub/Sub model in LimeLM account to notify us of the license activation?

Thanks!

Yep.

Nope, we don't have support for that. If you tell me more about what you're trying to accomplish (bigger picture) we can tell you what to do.

We are trying to automate license generation in LimeLM through a custom build application, but the product might not get activated soon after license generation and we would like to know when the product was activated in order to bill the customer honestly. Since license generation will only return product key, how can we know when the license is actually activated and customer starts using the product?

Answer

Ah, I see. That's an edge-case scenario that we won't be supporting. The majority of your customers will activate their license moments after purchasing the license. The exceptions tend to be large corporations (that have several layers of management between the people buying the licenses and the people *using* the licenses).

Either way, it's not worth automating changing billing to the precise moment they activate.

Send a notification to your  backend server once the user activates the license.
