An Activation Key is the unique code that identifies a license.
You supply an activation key to your customer, and at a later point in time, your customer uses this activation key to retrieve a license specific to their computer or network.
Naming matters. And naming conventions too: there's a reason every single type and method in the . NET framework is in Pascal. Case. The camel. Case of the public methods clashes with what our eyes are used to see, and it's like we don't see sharp anymore, and start needing glasses (you do know why Java programmers need glasses right?). Interface. Classes describe types; instances of a type are objects, and objects expose an interface.
I mean that kind of interface - not to be confused with interface. So, the interface then.
License. Manager(). License. Details(string license. Username, string license. Password). Web. Client generate. New. Client(). bool verify. License(). By looking at the implementation, we can see that there's temporal coupling here: there's only a specific order these methods can be called in for the thing to make sense. The private fields are only ever used in verify.
License() - why are they scoped at class level? Why does generate. New. Client() need to be public? Implementation. Web. Client implements IDisposable, so if you're not wrapping it in a using block, you need to call its Dispose method explicitly. Injecting the query string parameters in the url like this, with string.
- This error typically occurs if the mlm.exe process fails to start on the license manager. License file(s) on license-server1: C:\MATLAB\R2008a\flexlm\license.dat: license-server1: license server UP (MASTER) v11.4.
- The license manager needs to be installed, authorized, and started before configuring ArcGIS for Desktop and ArcGIS Engine client machines to use it.

Format, feels wrong at worst and clumsy at best. This would be a more idiomatic way (see this SO answer): string Add. Query. String. Parameters(string url, IDictionary< string,string> parameters). Keep it stupid simple. What's the task at hand here? Pass 2 strings into a url querystring and determine the return value by validating the returned string.
Verify. License(string user. Name, string password). Now we make the class static and then the public interface looks like this: static bool Verify. License(string user. Name, string password). Yes, that's all. No more temporal coupling, and knowing which method to call for doing what, is a no- brainer.
And since there's no state involved, the method is static and thread- safe. Your implementation could run into problems if two or more threads called methods on the same instance: there's no telling whether another thread changed the value of the private fields between the moment a thread set them and the moment that thread reads them before making the web request. Security. A web API that requires its clients to pass credentials into the querystring like that is completely irresponsible.
These things belong in a HTTP POST request, and your code sends them over a HTTP GET, 1. If you own the web API, it needs a serious look- into. If you don't, .. seriously consider switching to a more secure API.
