# get_license_info_as_json

Returns information about your File Content Extraction license, in JSON format.

This function can be used to determine whether a license key is valid or has expired.

## Syntax

    std::string get_license_info_as_json(const std::string& license);

## Arguments

`license` | A File Content Extraction license key.

## Discussion

A JSON schema for the license information is included in the `schemas` folder of the SDK. OpenText recommends that you consult the schema for information about the fields.

The following is an example response for a valid license that expires on 01 May 2026 (292 days in the future when the function was called).

    {
        "Status": "Valid",
        "ExpiryDate": "2026-05-01T00:00:00Z",
        "ExpiryDays": "292",
        "ExpiryEpochSeconds": 1777593600
    }

## Example

The following example obtains information about a license key and prints it to the console.

Copy

    #include <iostream>
    #include "Keyview_License.hpp"

    int main()
    {
        auto licenseParser = keyview::LicenseParser{"LINUX_X86_64/bin/"};
        std::string licenseKey = "YOUR_LICENSE_HERE";
        std::cout << licenseParser.get_license_info_as_json(licenseKey) << "\n";
    }
