We will be enforcing the license check for CLI executions. It is highly recommended that all users ensure they have a valid license for any CLI execution. 

To ensure a seamless experience, we advise all users to test the CLI license validation. This will allow you to proactively address potential challenges in your local or server environment before we enforce the mandatory license check in future releases. Find more information here.
