The License Provisioning tab allows administrators (that is, admin users) to add, view, and update the license key that is used to activate Quick Service. Licenses are automatically validated on startup and at regular intervals to ensure authenticity and compliance.

The UI displays a notification banner at the top of each page for both admin and non-admin users when the license is missing, expiring in 30 days, and after it has expired. This banner is persistent until it is closed, or a valid license is provided. For admin users, the banner contains the Update license option, enabling them to directly update the license. For non-admin users, the banner notifies them to contact their administrator.

Admin users can use this tab to:

  • Verify whether the application is operating under an active license.

  • Update the license key when a renewal or new entitlement is issued.

  • Monitor the number of days remaining before license expiry.

The License provisioning table displays the following details:

Field Description
License key Displays the license key.
Status Displays the current state of the license:
  • Active – The license is valid and fully functional.
  • Expires soon – The license will expire within 30 days.
  • Expired – The license has expired.
    Note: When the license is missing, invalid, or expired, the Quick Service application will still remain accessible for users to view data and perform essential actions. However, all modification options in the Settings page are unavailable until a valid license is provided. Admin users can still update system user credentials in the Setup system user tab, and also update the license in the License Provisioning tab.
Expires in Displays the number of days after which the currently active license expires.
Note: This field will display 0 days on the last day the license is active, after which this field will display negative values (such as -1, -2, and so on) denoting the number of days past the expiration date.
