I'm using NetLicensing PHP Client and wondering how to implement validation call to NetLicensing services.

Additional context API Key: disclosed licenseeNumber: disclosed

To use NetLicensing PHP Client you need to add this library as dependency to your project. For instance via, composer.json:

    "require": {
        "Labs64/NetLicensingClient-php": "~2.4.0",
    },

Recommended NetLicensing authentication option is: API Key (needed role for validate endpoint is Licensee). You can easily create an API Key via Management Console / Settings / API Access

Use your generated API Key number and Customer number in the PHP code snippet below:

const SECURITY_MODE = \NetLicensing\Constants::APIKEY_IDENTIFICATION;
const APIKEY = 'YOUR-API-KEY';
const LICENSEE = 'CUSTOMER-NUMBER';
try {
    $context = new \NetLicensing\Context();
    $context->setSecurityMode(SECURITY_MODE);
    $context->setApiKey(APIKEY);
    $validationParameters = new \NetLicensing\ValidationParameters();
    $validationResult = \NetLicensing\LicenseeService::validate($context, LICENSEE, $validationParameters);
    print_r($validationResult);
} catch (Exception $exception) {
    print_r($exception->getMessage());

Resulting validationResult contains received validation result object, which need to be interpreted in your application.

            [M12345678] => Array

                    [productModuleNumber] => M12345678
                    [valid] => true

                )
        )
