Purpose

Change an existing license to add/remove features, or change the payment period (e.g., monthly → annual).

Preconditions

• You are signed in and have at least one license listed on the Licenses page.
• Backend userDBService is reachable and your token has update rights for your license.

Actions

1. Open your avatar popover and choose Manage License (or go directly to /licenses).
2. On the Licenses page find the license card you want to update and click Edit.
3. In the edit dialog change the License Type, Period, and/or toggle Features as required.
   • Note: some features are restricted for free license types and will be disabled.
4. Review the pricing summary changes shown in the dialog.
5. Click Save Changes — the client calls PUT /users/license/{licenseId} (or uses the software id as the identifier) with the updated payload.

Example API (replace USERDB, LICENSE_ID, and TOKEN):

curl -X PUT "https://USERDB/users/license/LICENSE_ID" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "owner": { "type":"user", "name":"Alice Example", "email":"alice@example.com" },
    "softwareId":"toolbox_app",
    "features":["quality","analysis"],
    "licenseType":"user",
    "paymentPeriod":"annual"
  }'

Notes

• The UI maps the selected software name to softwareId when available; the server expects an identifier in the PUT path.
• Server-side validation or pricing rules may reject unsupported type/period combinations.

Troubleshooting

• If the PUT returns 404: confirm you used the correct LICENSE_ID or software identifier the server expects.
• If the update fails with validation errors, check the server response body for field-level messages and adjust the dialog choices accordingly.
• If authorization fails, ensure your session/token is valid and has update privileges for your license.
