About License Management

The lawful use of licenses is a key obligation in export controls. But managing licenses manually takes a lot of work and invites errors. License Management from AEB lets you manage all your licenses electronically – for greater efficiency and security. License Management guides you in applying for licenses, suggests the right licenses within a transaction, documents each decrement, and reports usage to the appropriate authorities. Play it safe – with export controls done right!

API

There is no need for an additional API to manage the approval process of check transactions. We recommend using only the Trade Compliance Management web application for this purpose, in combination with the Export Controls API.

Please refer to the usage scenarios described in the Export Controls API documentation for further guidance.

Note that an older SOAP API for License Management is still available. However, it should only be used in combination with version 1 of the Export Controls SOAP API or if your application needs to fully manage the release process of blocked transactions, including approval selection and revalidation after transaction data changes.

Although technically feasible, we strongly advise against this approach and instead recommend using the approval process provided in Trade Compliance Management, as described above.

The REST API for License Management provides a single method: getTransactionApprovalsCustomsData, which retrieves the customs data of approvals related to check transactions.
