The result indicates whether the method succeeded, and further information (whether successful or not) is available in the Result paramaeter

If a license has previously been activated on the same machine, using the same authorisation string, then the method returns true, but the fact is noted in the Result

The license server to be contacted is specified by LicenseServer, but this should not normally be changed.
