I’m trying to use the REST API to get Wowza Streaming Engine activation status. Is there such functionality in the REST API? ---

With this endpoint your can check the Wowza Streaming Engine license @Takayuki Nishi: GET /v2/servers/{serverName}/licenses curl example: ```auto curl - X GET --header 'Accept:application/json; charset=utf-8' --header 'Content-Type:application/json; charset=utf-8' http://localhost:8087//v2/servers/{serverName}/licenses' ``` Possible responses are: ```auto HTTP Status Code Reason 200 Ok 400 Bad Request 402 Payment Required 404 Not Found 200 "Ok" will mean that the server is licensed. Either a 400 or 402 response will show that the server is not licensed or payment is due. 404 means that the Server.license file was not located. ``` ---

Any questions about how long you have left for your license must go to [customerservice@wowza.com](mailto:customerservice@wowza.com) You can also click on My Account at the top of the page to view your license info, there is no url to view the status of a license for privacy purposes. ---

i meant on my own system. like the check if the license is currently valid. ```auto http://localhost:8087//v2/servers/{serverName}/licenses ``` as my server “knows” the date, i should be able to get that information programmatically, too. ---

> [@josef\_radinger](#): > > is there an url where i get the remaining time of that particular license? No we don’t have anything that would give you a response telling you the remaining time on your license @josef\_radingerm, but I can see why that would be beneficial. All we have right now are the responses you see above as far as good or bad license and why not if bad. Sorry about that. ---
