    Description

      The new major version 6.x is causing the following issues with the licensing module:

      • The licensing module interprets any version != 5 as 4.5 and expects therefore a 4.5 license
      • If the license version does not match the magnolia version its considered invalid

      You see that the two issues play nicely together ;P

      We have the following options to solve it

      1. Generate a new license version which would include adapt the licensing module to accept 6.x (and hopefully 7.x, 8.x, etc) as a correct license version. That would include changing the license generator as well.
      2. Consider 6.x as equal to 5.x.

      Next steps

      The second option is probably a good quick solution to continue the work. But its a workaround and should not be released even with 6.0 otherwise we will land in the same situation again with 7.x only we invested effort in having the same problem again and because of the 5==6 it will be even harder to solve properly.
