# License warning banner in WordPress admin

The WordPress admin may show a banner saying premium tools will require a license, even if you have not enabled any.

**Why this happens.** Previously, the warning appeared on all sites regardless of whether any paid features were in use.

**Current behavior.** The message now appears only when at least one premium tool is enabled. If your site uses only free features, you no longer see the warning.
