using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using QMSAPI;

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        try
        {
            // create a QMS API client
            IQMS4 apiClient = new QMS4Client();

            //retrieve a time limited service key
            ServiceKeyClientMessageInspector.ServiceKey = apiClient.GetTimeLimitedServiceKey();

            //Get license service status
            string result = apiClient.CheckLicenseServerStatus();

            //Print license service status
            Console.WriteLine("License service status: " + result);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("An exception occurred: " + ex.Message);
        }
        // wait for user to press any key
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}
