### Examples

The service key injection is assumed to be handled behind the scenes. For an example of how to inject the service key, see Samples.

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

            //Get license service status
            LicenseModel result = apiClient.GetQVSLicenseInfo(qvsID);

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