Features

For trial keys, set the Environment variable to "trial". Once you purchase a production license key, swap the Environment variable to "production" and change out your LicenseKey to your new license key.

The module automatically handles failover logic when using the production environment. This helps to ensure your web service requests are made sucessfully regardless of any network interuptions.
