Handling the React Native Barcode Scanner SDK license
License key
To run the Scanbot SDK within your production app, you must purchase and use a valid Scanbot SDK license.
Each license key is valid only for a given app bundle identifier. You will be unable to use any of the SDK features if the license key is corrupted, expired, or invalid in any other way.
Trial license
The Scanbot SDK will run without a license for one minute per session. To get a free 7-day trial license, please submit the trial license form.
Please note that you may only use a trial license in development and staging environments. You are not allowed to publish your app to the App Store, Play Store, or any third-party app store without a production license.

License checks in production apps
If your Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK license has expired, any call of the Scanbot Barcode Scanner SDK API will result in a promise rejection.
To prevent this, you should always check for license expiration during the runtime by calling the method ScanbotBarcodeSDK.getLicenseInfo().
If isLicenseValid returns false, you should disable any usage of the Scanbot SDK functions or UI components.

Updating the license in production apps
The expiration date and the feature list of a license are contained in the license key string as encrypted data. This means that renewing or extending a license will cause a new license key string to be generated.
To renew an expired license or extend a valid license with additional Scanbot SDK features, you will have to deploy a new version of the app with an updated license key.
Alternatively, you can dispatch the new key via Firebase Remote Config or load it from your web API, but we do not provide an out-of-the box solution for this.
