LIC-01Online activation with a key

What this test proves

Shows that a purchased or Developer key activates online in one call and that the reported state and tier match what was bought.

How it is tested

  1. Start with an empty license state folder and no key in the environment
  2. Call DicomKitLicense.SetAsync(key); the toolkit sends one activation request to the license server
  3. Pass if Status.State is ActivePro (Pro key) or ActiveEnterprise (Enterprise and Developer keys) and Status.Tier matches
  4. For the Developer key, also require the edition.developer feature in Status.Features
  5. For an expired or revoked key, pass if SetAsync is refused with DicomKitLicenseException

Expected result for each license type

  • Developer: Works
  • Pro: Works
  • Enterprise: Works
  • Expired: Refused: refused, naming the required tier (basics keep working)
  • Revoked: Refused: refused, naming the required tier (basics keep working)
