## License responsibilities

The main plugin uses its licensing module to connect an installation to a Central license, temporarily cache entitlements and apply feature or quota limits.

## Native updates

The updater requests private version metadata so updates can appear in the standard WordPress updater experience.

{% callout type="info" title="Do not document plan limits from a stale snapshot" %}
Plan limits and feature gates can change. The supplied source document explicitly says active values should be determined by current code and entitlement data. Keep pricing/plan pages as a separate source of truth.
{% /callout %}
