Description

License has been updated to provide consistent expiration-related
information, factoring in hard expiration dates, grace periods, and
"expires soon" logic.

LicenseStatus constants have been renamed to go with
licensed/unlicensed terms and expired-based terms.

There are new classes, errors, and stubs for license update checks and
for license actions (which will include things like manually uploading a
license).

License check updates will be driven in an upcoming change. The process
involves asking the License Provider for a license check payload,
sending that payload to an outside server, then passing the result back
to the License Provider for processing.

Type hints have been updated to utilize | instead of Union.

Upcoming changes will begin to flesh out more of this, and add UI around
license displays.

Testing Done

Unit tests pass.

Tested this along with in-progress changes, verifying all these new
capabilities being stubbed out in this change.

Should we make this (and get_expires_soon_days_threshold) properties?

They initially were. I ended up changing them to methods just to help distinguish fixed values in the dataclass from attributes with dynamic results. But I'm not married to it.

Been thinking about this, and I think because this method in particular may change results every time you call it (time-based), I'd like to keep it a function so it doesn't have the same static feel as the other properties on this class. The threshold one, I could go either way.
