ValidateLicenseFileContent

Validates a license on the server

Description

Validates a QLM license file by performing the following operations:

• Reads the license file content and validates its signature
• Validates the license based on the information in the license file
• If server-side validation is enabled, contacts the License Server and validates the license on the server
• If needed, reactivates the license to retrieve the latest information from the server
