First create an instance of Rest or Redfish Object using the **RestObject** or
**RedfishObject** class respectively. The class constructor takes iLO hostname/
ip address formatted as a string ("https://xx.xx.xx.xx"), iLO login username
and password as arguments. The class also initializes a login session, gets
systems resources and message registries.

Rest Object creation:

.. code-block:: python

 REST_OBJ = RestObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)

Redfish Object creation:

.. code-block:: python

 REDFISH_OBJ = RedfishObject(iLO_https_host, login_account, login_password)

Example 31: Set license key
===========================

The method **ex31_set_ilicense_key** takes an instance of rest object (or
redfish object if using Redfish API) and iLO key as arguments.

.. code-block:: python

 def ex31_set_license_key(restobj, iLO_Key):

Find and get the system resource for manager.

.. code-block:: python

 instances = restobj.search_for_type("Manager.")

Send HTTP GET request to manager URI(s).

.. code-block:: python

 for instance in instances:
     rsp = restobj.rest_get(instance["href"])

Prepare the request body with iLO license key provided.

.. code-block:: python

 body = dict()
 body["LicenseKey"] = iLO_Key

Perform POST request and check response.

.. code-block:: python

 response = restobj.rest_post(rsp.dict["Oem"]["Hp"]["links"]
                              ["LicenseService"]["href"], body)
 restobj.error_handler(response)
