Offline/Developer mode for the commercial plugin in local development environments
Partners and agencies often work on multiple client projects simultaneously. Consequently, a local development environment may contain extensions for various clients, even though those extensions are neither actively used nor tested there.
The commercial plugin currently checks installed extensions and their license status but cannot distinguish between an extension that is merely part of the local development environment and one that is actually in use. In development environments, this can lead to unexpected license checks or subsequent actions.
An optional offline or developer mode for local development environments—intended exclusively for non-production systems—would be beneficial. Alternatively, a way to clearly designate local development environments as such would help, allowing license checks to be adjusted accordingly.
Added value:
- Better support for agencies and partners managing multiple client projects.
- Fewer unintended license conflicts in local development environments.
- Improved developer experience with no impact on production systems.
