Licence

The web server must be able to make an outbound HTTPS connection to orbitserv.co.uk. The check also determines which content modules this key can enable.

Content modules

Blog, Jobs, Team and Properties remain independent modules. Consultant profiles, sector links and open jobs are built directly into Jobs and Team.

Only modules included in the verified licence can be selected. Products remain installed in the codebase but hidden for now.
