    Hello,
    first, thanks for your great support and fantastic Plugin. I really enjoy it.

    I just have a question regarding the validation of a license.
    If I try to validate a license via API it says “Success” true if 1. License has expired 2. License has been deactivated

    Normal beahviour should be either: success: false OR an additional parameter saying valid:true/false OR response 405 or similar

    User story:
    License can be activated only once.
    User break our TOS, we deactivate license -> our program is doing only /validate and not /activate because it can be only activates once. User can still use key because validation replies success true / 200

    Current solution: Delete key -> not best practice due to history

    Hello @redbaron77

    thank you for your message and for using my plugin.

    This has been called out many times to me already 🙂

    I now understand that returning a 200 for validation when the license is not valid anymore, is a bad thing.

    This issue will be addressed in the v3 api release.

    Let me know if you need anything else.
