Verify Floating sessions status and expiration

[r-brown]

Question

We need to pass the product module number, sessionId and an action that could be checkOut and checkIn.
checkOut will assign a session and checkIn will return that session as available; to my understanding, a session is any string that we assign to identify the user, so that the NetLicensing system can keep track of the number of login users, and will say invalid if that number is exceeded, and all this is happening behind the scenes,
Do I have a way of checking sessions on NetLicensing websites?
Because logically I would want to have stored sessions on my side. For example, if I have 2 users, I will store 2 sessions and pass them to NetLicensing for validation and if those sessions are all checked out
NetLicensing will show an error.

The specified functionality of the Floating model prolongs session validity upon every validation request with the action parameter set to "checkOut".
This effectively allows vendors to keep active sessions open until these are either given back using checkIn action or expired accordingly to the specified "Max Checkout Validity" parameter.

How to verify session validity

For the Floating model, NetLicensing validation response on successful checkout provides the point in time until checkout is valid in the "expirationTimestamp" attribute.
