Activate a license key for a specific device or machine instance. This endpoint increments the active instances count and returns a unique instance_id. This endpoint is Client-Safe. You do not need to provide your blnk_live_ secret key. You can call this directly from a desktop application (like Electron, Tauri, or Swift) by simply providing the license_key and an optional instance_name.
