There are two types of license keys: active and additional (backup).

Active license key is currently used for the application operation. A license key for a trial or commercial license can be added as the active key. The application cannot have more than one active license key.

The additional license key automatically becomes active when the license associated with the current active license key expires. An additional license key can be added only if an active license key is already added.

A trial license key can only be added as an active license key. A trial license key cannot be added as an additional license key.
