The "Active License Information Field" displays the current status of the software license. At the first launch, before activating the software, this field will be empty. Once the license is entered and activated, this field will show details about the license, such as the type of license, its validity period, and other important information that confirms the legality of the software use. This ensures that the user can verify that the license is active and the program is ready to use with full functionality.
