Description Samuel Mannehed cendio 2025-04-21 14:23:01 CEST 
A ThinLinc license supports the newest ThinLinc version available when the license bundle was created, and older versions.

Sometimes customers install new license files without upgrading the ThinLinc server. This means it is possible to end up in a scenario where you, as an admin, are unsure what version you can upgrade to, without new licenses.

The best way to find that information is to open a license files under /opt/thinlinc/etc/licenses/, but this is not very convenient.

It would be cool if this information was available through `tlctl license` and Web Admin.

Should be done. Tested on Fedora 41 using a set of licenses:

 * One license file with one version
 * Two different licenses with different versions

Yep, only the latest version from the license files is displayed.

Yep.
