Upsell notice appears in Drupal administrative area

Problem/Motivation

An error message is displayed with the message:

"Your license is expired. You need to renew your license."

This is alarming to anyone who logs in to the site. This message doesn't say anything about what is wrong or to what license it is referring. Regardless of the utility of the message itself, it is inappropriate to use Drupal to advertise an upsell.

Steps to reproduce

Log in to Drupal site 1 year after purchasing module 'upgrade plan'.

Proposed resolution

Remove message and clarify messaging about licensing.

It is abusive and contrary to the Drupal community guidelines. This is not an error, it should not be displayed to users on every page of the administrative area, and this is functionally spam.

Remaining tasks

User interface changes

Remove message, and ideally clarify communication about licensing.

It is not appropriate to use the Drupal module directory for abusive upsells.

  • Hi @jmee,

    I completely understand how frustrating it can be to see that message on the administrative page.

    I would like to clarify that this message is not present in the version selected in this issue or in any community variants of the modules that we release here. It might be visible in any licensed variant of the module, which is maintained in a separate directory, and presenting an expiry notification in the licensed module is necessary.

    Also, In the latest release of the licensed module, we have updated the message to clearly state which license is expired, how to renew it, and what will happen if it is not renewed. Additionally, this message will only be visible to users with admin role, not to all users. Please upgrade to the latest version.
