| Hi @cm-jchen - it's perfectly OK to use your production key in e.g. dev/test environments, or operate in trial mode on developer machines (see https://docs.duendesoftware.com/identityserver/v7/fundamentals/license_key/#trial-mode). If you're interested in tracking which features you are using, you can use the license usage summary to get more insights. |
