Software Licenses¶

Licenses act as a key to certain restricted software.

Rationale¶

📝 NOTE: This API follows the standard Resources API. We recommend that you have already read and understood the concepts described here.

Users must attach a license to a Job for it to work. When attached, the software should be available. In most cases, a license is a parameter of an Application.

📝 NOTE: UCloud does not store any information about license keys, servers or any other credentials. It is the responsibility of the provider to store this information.

Remote Procedure Calls¶

`browse`¶

Browses the catalog of available resources

Request	Response	Error
`ResourceBrowseRequest<LicenseIncludeFlags>`	`PageV2<License>`	`CommonErrorMessage`

`retrieve`¶

Retrieve a single resource

Request	Response	Error
`ResourceRetrieveRequest<LicenseIncludeFlags>`	`License`	`CommonErrorMessage`

`retrieveProducts`¶

Retrieve product support for all accessible providers

Request	Response	Error
`Unit`	`SupportByProvider<Product.License, LicenseSupport>`	`CommonErrorMessage`

This endpoint will determine all providers that which the authenticated user has access to, in the current workspace. A user has access to a product, and thus a provider, if the product is either free or if the user has been granted credits to use the product.

`search`¶

Searches the catalog of available resources

Request	Response	Error
`ResourceSearchRequest<LicenseIncludeFlags>`	`PageV2<License>`	`CommonErrorMessage`

`create`¶

Creates one or more resources

Request	Response	Error
`BulkRequest<LicenseSpecification>`	`BulkResponse<FindByStringId>`	`CommonErrorMessage`

`delete`¶

Deletes one or more resources

Request	Response	Error
`BulkRequest<FindByStringId>`	`BulkResponse<Unit>`	`CommonErrorMessage`

`init`¶

Request (potential) initialization of resources

Request	Response	Error
`Unit`	`Unit`	`CommonErrorMessage`

This request is sent by the client, if the client believes that initialization of resources might be needed. NOTE: This request might be sent even if initialization has already taken place. UCloud/Core does not check if initialization has already taken place, it simply validates the request.

`updateAcl`¶

Updates the ACL attached to a resource

Request	Response	Error
`BulkRequest<UpdatedAcl>`	`BulkResponse<Unit>`	`CommonErrorMessage`

`LicenseSpecification`¶

data class LicenseSpecification(
    val product: ProductReference,
)

Properties

product: ProductReference The product used for the `License`

`LicenseState`¶

enum class LicenseState {
    PREPARING,
