    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();

            //Create the new license
            License newsignedKeyLicense = new License();
            newsignedKeyLicense.LicenseType = LicenseType.QlikViewServer;
            newsignedKeyLicense.SignedKey = "<A valid signed key>";

            //get license service name
            string licenseService = apiClient.GetServices(ServiceTypes.LicenseService)[0].Name;

            //get qvs id
            Guid qvsID = apiClient.GetServices(ServiceTypes.QlikViewServer)[0].ID;

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

            //Set the license
            LicenseDefinition result = apiClient.SaveNewLicense(newsignedKeyLicense, qvsID, licenseService);

            //Check the result
            if(LicenseDefinition != null)
                Console.WriteLine("License was successfully set.");
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {
            Console.WriteLine("An exception occurred: " + ex.Message);
        }
        // wait for user to press any key
        Console.ReadLine();
    }
}
