Hey @XGilmar ! I still have the .jar file you shared earlier, but unfortunately, it doesn’t work anymore with versions after 2025.1.X.X — it just won’t activate again. Do you happen to have a fix for this? If so, I’d really appreciate your help. Thanks so much for all the support given to the community!!
