Remarks

The VersionDataValue and Credentials properties of the SOAP proxy object must be set before calling this method.

This function retrieves a signed use license that corresponds to one issuance license. Prelicensing is done on behalf of the license recipient by a service, such as Microsoft SharePoint Team Services. The purpose of this function is to enable a publisher to request a use license at publishing time so that it can provide an end user with all the required licenses to consume a piece of content without having to contact a server.

The returned certificate chain contains the common chain for the license. When a client receives this response, it must construct a certificate chain that a rights management consuming application can use as described in AcquirePreLicenseResponse.

Note that you cannot use Passport identification to acquire a use license by using this function. The only way Passport identification can be used to acquire a use license is for the end user to request the license by using the DRMAcquireLicense function.
