New License Rate Limiting for BFF

[b1tzer0]

This is in regards for the rate limiting that was proposed for Trial Mode.

Will this also affect the BFF side? If so, where there be a location to input the key programmatically and where?

Additionally, I am using BFF for Blazor using Auto Mode, so will that require the license key to be on the client side as well?

At some point in the future, we will indeed apply rate limiting on the BFF host side when it detects it's running in trial mode. We will announce this new behaviour well before we release it so that we can inform everyone ahead of time.

If you already have a valid license, you can configure it in the BffOptions when registering the BFF services:

var bffLicenseKey = "eyJhbG..."; // or injected via configuration, secrets, Azure Key Vault, ...

builder.Services.AddBff(options => 
{
    options.LicenseKey = bffLicenseKey;
});

No, you do not need to add the BFF license key to client applications. Only the BFF host(s) require a license.
