Add Custom Tags to License using Web Service API

When issuing a license using the Software Potential web portal it is possible to add one or more Custom Tags to the license.  Each tag is a (Name,Value) pair where

• Name can be 50 chars max
• Value can be 4,000 chars max

You can also add Custom Tags  using the Software Potential Web Service API when issuing or reissuing a license programmatically . To do this, you add an array CustomTags[] to the LicenseInfo object before calling CreateLicense (LicenseInfo LicenseInfo) or Update License(LicenseInfo LicenseInfo) methods respectively in the Software Potential LicenseManagementWS API. 

The following code snippet adds a single Custom Tag to a license that is created from a SKU in Software Potential:

 public static License CreateLicenseFromSkuIdAndAddCustomTag(string SkuId, UserCredentials Credentials, string PartnerName)
        {

            using (LicenseManagementWSClient client = CreateLicenseManagementClient(Credentials))
            {
                try
                {
                    LicenseInfo licenseInfo = client.GetSkuById(SkuId).LicenseInfo;
                    CustomTag tag = new CustomTag
                    {
                        TagName = "Partner Name",
                        TagValue = "ACME Inc"
                    };

                    List customTags = licenseInfo.CustomTags.ToList();
                    customTags.Add(tag);
                    licenseInfo.CustomTags = customTags.ToArray();
                    License license = client.CreateLicense(licenseInfo);
                    Console.WriteLine("License from SKU - Activation Key: {0}, LicenseID: {1} \n", license.ActivationKey, license.LicenseId);
                    return license;
                }
                catch (FaultException apiEx)
                {
                    // handle error

                    throw apiEx;
                }
                catch (FaultException argNullEx)
                {
                    // handle error

                    throw argNullEx;
                }
                catch (FaultException argEx)
                {
                    // handle error

                    throw argEx;
                }
                catch (FaultException genEx)
                {
                    // handle error

                    throw genEx;
                }
            };
        }
