|
Indicates that activation is allowed for the entitlement. |
| revocationAllowed | true
|
Indicates that revocation is allowed for the entitlement. |
| state | ENABLE
|
State of the entitlement. The default value is DRAFT. > DRAFT: The entitlement is not ready yet. It can be modified or deleted. > ENABLE: The entitlement is complete. It can be activated. |
| Associated Product | ||
| totalQuantity | 10
|
Total number of licenses that can be generated for products associated with the entitlement. |
| activationMethod | FIXED
|
Activation method for the product. The Fixed value indicates that the provided quantity can be consumed in multiple activations, and each activation will consume a specified fixed quantity. |
| fixedQuantity | 1
|
Quantity to be consumed when the activation method is fixed. |
| name | Printer-Scanner
|
Name of the product associated with the entitlement. |
| version | 1
|
Version of the product associated with the entitlement. |
| Associated Customer | ||
| name | TestSoftware
