Licence
Section titled “Licence”Gloss uses a domain-bound licence like every Kavio Labs product. Without a valid licence (after the 14-day period of a new installation, or 14 days after the licence server became unreachable) the storefront shows the standard Responsive look instead of the Gloss design; cart, checkout and orders keep working and visitors see no message.
