Sample: Retrieve license information

  • Artikel

This sample shows how to use the IDeploymentService.RetrieveDeploymentLicenseTypeRequest message and the IOrganizationService.RetrieveLicenseInfoRequest message to retrieve information about licenses.

You can download the sample from here.

Note

This sample applies to both Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) and Dataverse.

How to run this sample

To obtain a local copy of all samples and build them, follow these steps:

  1. Download or clone the Samples repo so that you have a local copy.
  2. (Optional) Edit the dataverse/App.config file to define a connection string specifying the instance/organization you want to connect to.
  3. Open the sample solution in Visual Studio and press F5 to run the sample. After you specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config, any sample you run will use that connection information.

If you don't specify a connection string in dataverse/App.config file, a dialog opens each time you run the sample, and you'll need to enter information about which instance or org you want to connect to and which credentials you want to use. This dialog caches previous connections so that you can choose a previously used connection.

What this sample does

The IDeploymentService.RetrieveDeploymentLicenseTypeRequest message is intended to be used in a scenario where it contains data that is needed to retrieve the type of license for a deployment of Dataverse.

The IOrganizationService.RetrieveLicenseInfoRequest message is intended to be used in a scenario where it contains data that is needed to retrieve the number of used and available licenses for a deployment of Dataverse.

Demonstrate
