What the license status shows
Below the input field in the “License” (in German: „Lizenz“) area there is a “Status” line. It records what the last click on “Activate” produced. Four entries are possible, plus the case where no key is stored at all.
The entries in detail
- No license stored — there is no key in the field
- Saved — the key sits in the database, but it has not been checked; that is what it says when no license server is stored
- Unchecked — the license server was not reachable or did not respond with code 200; the key was saved anyway
- Invalid — the license server rejected the key; if it sends a text of its own along, that text appears in the message
- Active — the license server has confirmed; the tier it reported back appears after it
When a check happens at all
The check only runs when you click “Activate”, not in the background, and only if an address for the license server is stored through a filter. If it is missing, the interface says so openly: without a configured license server the key is merely saved, and no status is faked. The request aborts after ten seconds.
kwp_license_endpointOnly with “Active” does the note “License active” additionally appear at the top right in the header. If you want the status determined anew, you click “Activate” again in the same area — no check happens on its own.
