# License Activation Errors and Warnings
Starting with the 2025 Q1 release, using a product without a license or with an invalid license causes specific license warnings and errors. This article defines what an invalid license is, explains what is causing it, and describes the related license warnings and errors.

A missing, expired, or invalid license will result in:
- A watermark appearing on application startup.
- A modal dialog appearing on application startup. Clicking the **OK** button of the dialog closes the dialog and removes the banner until the next application startup.
- A warning message can appear in the build log.

### Invalid License
An invalid license can be caused by any of the following:

- Using an expired subscription license-subscription licenses expire at the end of the subscription term.
- Using a perpetual license for product versions released outside the validity period of your license.
- Using an expired trial license.
- A missing license for the product.
- Not installing a license key in your application.
- Not updating the license key after renewing your product license.

### License Warnings and Errors
When using the product in a project with an expired or missing license, the _Telerik.Licensing_ build task will indicate the following errors or conditions:

|**Condition**|**Message Code**|**Solution**|
|----|----|----|
