Would like to add some licensing checks to a perspective component module that I've built. Do I have to add this through a delegate passing info down from the gateway or is there a built in way that I can fetch the license state or do I have to build a Delegate class and pass that over a websocket?

I would look at this:

> I wouldn't try to enforce on the component side. Just check on the java side and send a fixed set of static component data when the trial expires.

Note that I'm aware of, because we've never had a need to do it first party. If your Perspective trial expires, you just don't have Perspective anymore - no need for component logic. Technically, if you had licensed Perspective but a reporting module trial, you could run the component indefinitely...but your reports will generate with a watermark - so basically the same idea as Phil's suggestion to only rely on the backend.
