Instance Usage for Billing

The Hoppscotch Enterprise edition sends an additional event to our licensing server to assist with billing. This event is triggered every 12 hours. The licensing server verifies the instance’s license and we send the license status and number of seats used as query parameters. Once the license key is validated, the server returns a signed/encrypted text, which the enterprise instance uses to verify the source of the validation and converts it and stores it as a JSON similar to the one below. 
{
   "status": "valid",
   "issuedTo": "AYQHAG$T1",
   "seats": 10
}
