Figure 19: SOAP accesses to the CodeMeter License Central SOAP accesses provide you a maximum in flexibility. You are able to access CodeMeter License Central from within an application. Next to the direct access, the web access is also feasible using a web browser. Both access options are valid for all three interfaces. Also splitting is an option. For example, you are able to call the Depot Interface from within your software, while the internal interfaces, i.e. the Admin and Sales Interface are accessed via web pages. SOAP functions are available as documented CodeMeter License Central API (CmLC-API) for integrating into your own applications. 8.2.2 Basic Functions Sales Interface The Sales Interface accepts activities. You send the item number of the product to be shipped, and optionally customer data and an order number. The Sales module returns the matching ticket. In case of recurring activities (checkpoints, license extension), you are able to send along the original order number. In this case, the existing ticket is extended by a collection activity. This means, the user is able to extend the license with his established ticket. This saves management efforts for new tickets, and eases handling for the user. You can also extend or renew the license with the existing ticket directly via SOAP from within your application. 36 | 44
