## Enhancements

* PingID API - new parameter added for configuring expiration time of activation code

  A new parameter, `hoursUntilExpiration`, has been added to the `getactivationcode` method to allow you to specify the number of hours the activation code should remain valid. This optional parameter can take any integer value between 1 and 336 (two weeks). If the `hoursUntilExpiration` parameter is not used, the activation code is valid for 48 hours.

For details, see the documentation for [getactivationcode](https://apidocs.pingidentity.com/pingid-api/guide/pingid-api/pid_c_PingIDapiUserManagement/#GetActivationCode).
