Working example of user entitlements
Not sure if this is what you are referring to but I found this post "Entitlement API changes in Inventor 2020". With the information in that article (and some of the posts referred to in the post) I managed to get it working in an Ilogic rule in Inventor 2021. Maybe it helps you:
AddReference "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2021\Bin\AddinNETFramework.AdWebServicesWrapper.dll"
Imports Autodesk.WebServices
Dim mgr As CWebServicesManager = New CWebServicesManager()
If (mgr.Initialize()) Then
ThisApplication.Login()
Dim userId = ""
mgr.GetUserId(userId)
Dim userName = ""
mgr.GetLoginUserName(userName)
MsgBox("User ID = '" + userId + " -> " + "User Name = '" + userName + "'")
End IfJelte de Jong

try this rule and check the logger:
(i have not paid for any app so i could not check if it truly works but it looks good.Plz let me know if it works)
AddReference "C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Inventor 2021\Bin\AddinNETFramework.AdWebServicesWrapper.dll"
Imports Autodesk.WebServices
Imports System.Text.RegularExpressions
Dim appId = "<YOUR APP ID HERE>"
Dim mgr As CWebServicesManager = New CWebServicesManager()
If (mgr.Initialize()) Then
ThisApplication.Login()
Dim userId = ""
mgr.GetUserId(userId)
Dim userName = ""
mgr.GetLoginUserName(userName)
' Logger.Info("User ID = '" + userId + " -> " + "User Name = '" + userName + "'")
Dim url = String.Format("https://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/webservices/checkentitlement?userid={0}&appid={1}",
userId,appId )
Dim webClient As New System.Net.WebClient
Dim resultJson As String = webClient.DownloadString(url)
Dim regex As Regex = New Regex("{""UserId"":""(\w+)"",""AppId"":""(\w+)"",""IsValid"":(\w+),""Message"":""(\w+)""}")
Dim match As Match = regex.Match(resultJson)
If (match.Success) Then
userId = match.Groups(1).Value
appId = match.Groups(2).Value
Dim isValid As String = match.Groups(3).Value
Dim message As String = match.Groups(4).Value
Logger.Info("userId = " & userId)
Logger.Info("appId = " & appId)
Logger.Info("isValid = " & isValid)
Logger.Info("message = " & message)
Else
MsgBox("there was a problem: " & resultJson)
End If
End If

Hello,
I tried this wit iLogic and it works 🙂
But I can't get an result with VisualStudio.
I made an easy "Form.Project".
The dll I linked in "References"
I Allthough tried all Settings with th CPU
I could't find my mistake.
Any Idea?
Best Christoph
I got the same results with an external application. But I tested it also on an addin. then this worked for me. (btw this is in c#)
CWebServicesManager mgr = new CWebServicesManager();
if (mgr.Initialize())
{
ThisApplication.Login();
string userId = "";
mgr.GetUserId(ref userId);
string userName = "";
mgr.GetLoginUserName(ref userName);
string url = string.Format("https://apps.exchange.autodesk.com/webservices/checkentitlement?userid={0}&appid={1}",
userId, appId);
System.Net.WebClient webClient = new System.Net.WebClient();
string resultJson = webClient.DownloadString(url);
Regex regex = new Regex("{\"UserId\":\"(\\w+)\",\"AppId\":\"(\\w+)\",\"IsValid\":(\\w+),\"Message\":\"(\\w+)\"}");
Match match = regex.Match(resultJson);
if (match.Success)
{
userId = match.Groups[1].Value;
appId = match.Groups[2].Value;
string isValid = match.Groups[3].Value;
string message = match.Groups[4].Value;
}
}

I don't have an answer for question 1
The user can find there ID easy in Inventor. Have a look at the top right corner of the window:
getting more info about an object can be done in Visual Studio. Have a look at the object browser.
