+=====Bizweaver New Licensing Assistance=====
+Bizweaver now supports a subscription license model. This outlines how subscription licenses behave across various states—active, expired, and disconnected—along with corresponding in-app messages.
+====Key Characteristics of Subscription Licensing====
+  - Time-limited license with fixed contract dates.
+  - Includes access to all product updates during the active subscription period.
+  - 14-day grace period begins once the license expires.
+  - Requires periodic online validation with the license server.
+  - If grace period is exceeded or server checks fail, access will be restricted.
+====License Active and Valid====
+No user message is shown. The software functions normally.
+====License Server Unavailable (within 14 day grace period)====
+If Bizweaver is unable to contact the license server, but the grace period is still valid:
+{{:bw2:license-server-unavailable-1.jpg?400|}}
+====License Server Unavailable (after 14 day grace period)====
+If Bizweaver cannot connect to the license server and the grace period has elapsed:
+{{:bw2:license-server-unavailable-2.jpg?400|}}
+====Subscription Expired - Grace Period Active====
+If the subscription contract end date has passed but the user is within the 14-day grace period:
+{{:bw2:subscription_expired_-_grace_period_active.jpg?400|}}
+====Subscription Expired - Grace Period Expired====
+If both the subscription end date and the 14-day grace period have passed:
+{{:bw2:subscription_expired-grace_period_expired.jpg?400|}}
