+[⬅️ Go back to main README](../README.md)
+
+> ℹ️ **Info**: This script can not be used on its own but requires the base
+> installation. See [main README](../README.md) for details.
+
+Description
+-----------
+
+On *Cloud Hosted Router* (*CHR*) the licensing is perpetual: Buy once, use
+forever - but it needs regular renewal. This script checks licensing state
+and sends a notification to warn before expiration.
+
+### Sample notification
+
+![check-perpetual-license notification](check-perpetual-license.d/notification.avif)
+
+Requirements and installation
+-----------------------------
+
+Just install the script:
+
+    $ScriptInstallUpdate check-perpetual-license;
+
+And add a scheduler for automatic update notification:
+
+    /system/scheduler/add interval=1d name=check-perpetual-license on-event="/system/script/run check-perpetual-license;" start-time=startup;
+
+Configuration
+-------------
+
+No extra configuration is required for this script, but notification
+settings are required for
+[e-mail](mod/notification-email.md),
+[matrix](mod/notification-matrix.md),
+[ntfy](mod/notification-ntfy.md) and/or
+[telegram](mod/notification-telegram.md).
+
+Usage and invocation
+--------------------
+
+Be notified when run from scheduler or run it manually:
+
+    /system/script/run check-perpetual-license;
+
+Tips & Tricks
+-------------
+
+The script checks for full connectivity before acting, so scheduling at
+startup is perfectly valid:
+
+    /system/scheduler/add name=check-perpetual-license@startup on-event="/system/script/run check-perpetual-license;" start-time=startup;
