License Automation with API

[junglecom]

I am trying to find documentation on how to automate licensing using an API but I am unable to find any on http://www.parallels.com/ptn

I do not know how the API works nor what to do once I am able to download it. Any guidance would be very helpful.

Thanks!

API documentation is here - http://www.parallels.com/products/plesk/documentation/

Great! Thank you

How about the download link for the API package for CentOS 5.7 linux?

 

[IgorG]

What do you mean "API package"?

 

[junglecom]

Dont you have to download a API or SDK to be able to do this?

 

[IgorG]

API can be used by XML requests as it is described in documentation. I do not understand what you want to download?

Is this the API I should be looking at http://www.parallels.com/ptn/documentation/ka/ ?

Maybe I should explain my environment to make it easier to understand.

Basically we have a web-based control panel where end users can create their own servers. We are trying to provide Plesk as a template they can deploy but do not know how we can automate the licensing. As I am really new to Parallel products I need a bit of guidance.

In order to automate licensing what exactly is needed? Only the API and becoming a partner? or do i have to buy PBAS in addition. Remember we do not need automation of creating servers, just licensing for plesk on the server.

Hope that makes sense...

Thank you very much for your help!

Could you please clarify what do you mean "automate the licensing" in Plesk environment? What do you mean when you say "automate the licensing by Plesk API"?
Did you read Plesk API documentation?
Briefly it works like this - you create XML request (there are a lot of different examples in documentation) and send it to Plesk by some perl or php script, for example. That's all.
