Request Body

Install Action

To install a license, the request body must contain the install action property:

Property	Type	Description
LicenseFile	object	Specifies the content of the license file provided as a Base64 string. For more information about how to obtain a Base64 string, see Converting License to Base64 String.

For example:

{

"install":

{

"LicenseFile": "<base64_string>"

}

Converting License to Base64 String

To install a license, you must provide the content of the license file as a Base64 string. To obtain a Base64 string, perform the following steps:

Get the content of the license file.
Convert the license to a Base64 string.

To do this, you can use the following PowerShell cmdlets:

$license = get-content '<path_to_license>' -Encoding Byte

[System.Convert]::ToBase64String($license) | Out-File '<path_to_file>'

where:

<path_to_license> — path to the license file that you want to convert to a Base64 string.
<path_to_file> — path to a file that that will contain the resulting Base64 string. You will be able to copy the Base64 string from the file and provide the string in the body of the POST https://<hostname>:4443/v5/License/action request.

For example:

$license = get-content 'C:\veeam.lic' -Encoding Byte

[System.Convert]::ToBase64String($license) | Out-File 'C:\base64.txt'
