How to Get Archived User license using License Manager

Question

Is there a way to read "Archived User" (AU) license using License Manager API? If so, please provide an example of the request. Thank you.

Answer 1

Retrieve specific user:

You can either retrieve the License for a specific user, using LicenseAssignments: get.

In this case, you'll have to make the following request to this URL:

GET https://www.googleapis.com/apps/licensing/v1/product/{productId}/sku/{skuId}/user/{userId}

Where:

• productId should be 101034 (productId for Archived User) (this ID is not officially documented and can only be indirectly retrieved using Reseller API, see Documentation missing section below).
• skuId would be 1010340001 for Enterprise - Archived User and 1010340002 for Business - Archived User (these IDs are not officially documented and can only be indirectly retrieved using Reseller API, see Documentation missing section below).
• userId would be the user's current primary email address.

List for product or for product and SKU:

If you don't want to retrieve a specific user, you can also list Licenses according to productId and skuId:

• LicenseAssignments: listForProduct:

GET https://www.googleapis.com/apps/licensing/v1/product/{productId}/users?customerId={customerId}

• LicenseAssignments: listForProductAndSku:

GET https://www.googleapis.com/apps/licensing/v1/product/{productId}/sku/{skuId}/users?customerId={customerId}

Documentation missing:

Archived User productId and skuId are not currently documented in the official API reference. There is currently a feature request regarding a documentation update:

• Enterprise License Manager API will not return G Suite Business/Enterprise Archived User licenses

I'd suggest you to star the issue in order to keep track of this and to help prioritizing its implementation.

Note on authorization:

Any of these methods would require getting authorized with the following scope: https://www.googleapis.com/auth/apps.licensing. I'm assuming you're not asking how to go through the OAuth process, and you just need information on what methods to use.
