// Initialize the client
var client = new License8Client(
baseUrl: "https://api.license8.com/v1/licenses",
apiKey: "your-api-key",
licenseeAppKey: "your-licensee-app-key"
);
// Authenticate with a license key
var authResponse = await client.AuthenticateWithLicenseKeyAsync("XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX");
if (authResponse.IsSuccess)
{
var jwt = authResponse.Data!.Jwt!;
Console.WriteLine($"Authenticated! License: {authResponse.Data.LicenseID}");
// Register a device
var deviceResponse = await client.RegisterNewDeviceAsync(
jwt: jwt,
deviceID: "unique-device-id",
deviceLabel: "User's Laptop",
machineName: Environment.MachineName
);
// Validate token
var validation = await client.ValidateTokenAsync(jwt);
Console.WriteLine($"Token valid: {validation.Data?.IsValid}");
// List registered devices
var devices = await client.ListRegisteredDevicesAsync(jwt);
Console.WriteLine($"Total devices: {devices.Data?.Count ?? 0}");
}
// Server-side operations require appSecret
var appSecret = "your-app-secret"; // Fetch from secure config
var licenseDetails = await client.GetLicenseDetailsAsync(appSecret, "license-id");
