As of version 2.6.22, the provider section contains the attribute “check_license”, which by default is set to true. However, although the errors seem to point out a problem about a license, there is no real need for one as a license is not mandatory in the provider section. Therefore this leads to one of these unexpected error messages, which can be fixed.
