Unable to apply the license file in EventLog Analyzer
Issue description
EventLog Analyzer requires users to manually update the license file obtained from the licensing team to activate features beyond the trial period or during renewal. If the license file is not uploaded correctly, users may encounter issues such as limited functionality, trial expiry notifications, or seize in log collection. To ensure uninterrupted access to all features, it is crucial to upload a valid and updated license file in a timely manner.
