Features

• Shared license cache — one nexterp.license row per (company, license_type), used by every private NextERP module (declarations, partner_data_anaf, ...).
• Pluggable consumers — each consuming module extends the license_type selection and overrides _collect_license_requests to yield its own (license_type, api_key) tuples.
• Centralised refresh cron — a single cron iterates all companies, collects every consumer's requests and POSTs them to the NextERP license server's /check_license endpoint.
• Cached state, dates and feature flags — state, start_date, expiry_date, feature_codes, package_name, latest_version and last_check are stored on the cache row so the rest of Odoo can read them without hitting the network.
• Feature gating helper — has_feature(license_type, code) is the one-line check consuming modules call to enable a paid feature.
• Optional auto-update — a second cron pip-upgrades any package whose latest_version exceeds the installed version; the Odoo module upgrade itself is delegated to an external supervisor.
• Per-company server URL — the license server URL is configurable on res.company (group System) and defaults to https://nexterp.ro.

Configuration

1. Set the license server URL (optional)

Edit the company (group System) to override NextERP License Server (nexterp_license_server_url). The default is https://nexterp.ro and is correct for all standard NextERP subscribers.

2. Provide the API key on each consuming module

This module ships only the cache. The actual API keys live on res.company and are added by each consuming module — for example nexterp_declarations_license_key for the declarations package. Open Settings → Companies → your company and fill in the keys issued to you by NextERP support.

3. Refresh

The scheduled action NextERP License: Refresh runs daily and calls /check_license for every (company, license_type) declared by consuming modules. You can also trigger a refresh manually from the list view (NextERP → Licenses) via Refresh All.

4. Auto-update (optional)

The scheduled action NextERP License: Auto-update Packages pip-upgrades each package whose latest_version exceeds the locally installed version. The actual Odoo module upgrade (restart with -u <module>) is delegated to your external supervisor — this cron only refreshes the Python package on disk.

How it works

Inspecting cached licenses

1. Go to NextERP → Licenses.
2. Each row shows a (company, license_type) pair with its current state, start_date, expiry_date, feature_codes, package_name, installed_version and latest_version.
3. Open a row to read the last error returned by the server (last_error) and the timestamp of the most recent check (last_check).

Calling from another module

Consuming modules check whether a feature is unlocked with:

self.env["nexterp.license"].has_feature("declarations", "d390")

This returns True only when the cache row for the current company is active, not expired and includes the given code in feature_codes.
