Description
Bug description
Our replicated licenses have license types of (community, trial, prod, and dev); these values are also defined within Replicated. However issuing and using a dev license causes the dashboard License page to indicate that an inactive or unknown license is in use. While a minor issue it's pretty confusing, and complicates testing I'm doing around invalid licenses.
It looks like this is due to the dashbaord License page only supporting [community, trial, and prod license types](. The dev license type is not handled and it looks like we fall through to an inactive license type.)
Steps to reproduce
- Create a Replicated license with type
prod. - Create a new self hosted Gitpod instance and confirm that the
prodlicense is displayed as expected.

- Convert the Replicated license to type
dev, sync the license in the KOTS admin page, and redeploy Gitpod. - Visit the Gitpod license page and get an invalid or unknown license.

Research direction
Start at the dashboard License page and trace how replicated license types are interpreted, focusing on the handling of community, trial, prod, and dev. Reproduce the issue by syncing a Replicated license converted to dev, then verify that the Admin/License page identifies it as an active development license rather than invalid or unknown.
