License key

The license key on version v7+ works as a certificate. Each certificate has an expiration date and should be updated in the same frequency of the chosen subscription plan. The developer should update that manually or they can create an automatic API request to update that automatically. For convenience, it is possible to activate the automatic certificate management, which allows Jspreadsheet to download a new certificate automatically. Apart from the latter option, there is no online validation. So, all certificates work and are validated in offline mode. To avoid causing any disruption, Jspreadsheet will continue working with an expired certificate for 30 days. After that, the spreadsheet would be shown in read-only mode. The certificate can be generated using an online account. For evaluation, a certificate can be generated using a demo account for free and the certificate would be valid for 30 days.
