License gate bug in v1.6.0/1.6.1 fixed — skip-activation now works
Posted by tomspark
v1.6.2 fixes a release-blocking issue where the skip-activation path would report a valid license in the dashboard but then reject every write operation (wizard finish, module enable, container restart, settings save, VPN config, server reset) with a 403. The license gate now correctly honors the skip marker for local features. Auto-updates and remote-support remain license-gated separately since they need a valid key at the worker level. If you're on v1.6.0 or v1.6.1, update now — the product is unusable without this fix. Also fixed: replaced stale Surfshark affiliate sub-ID across 3 dashboard surfaces so attribution tracks correctly. Head to your Updates tab to pull v1.6.2. If you hit any issues, post here in d/sparkbox. --- Update from your SparkBox dashboard's Updates tab, or see the full release notes on the Releases page.
