IDA 9.5 adds a licensing API.
Everything the License Manager dialog does is now available from code, in the C++ SDK, IDAPython and IDA Domain.
Handy for plugins, headless scripts and shared-license pipelines.

Fun fact:
Barnaby Jack once decompiled and cracked IDA with itself and uploaded a cracked version of it into a webserver of a coworker.
After it got indexed HexRays found it, and banned our whole company from using it
We even got mentioned in the EULA
If you're into low-level security, reverse engineering or exploit development, bookmark this.
Secret Club is one of the best FREE technical security research archives online.
The rabbit hole covers:
