I ran into a problem. can I get the license in forge scheduledTrigger Active value ? However, I refer to the following methods in scheduled trggers. The result of context is undefined. What causes this? I need a solution.

```auto

const getLicense = async (context) => {
    return context.license && context.license.isActive;
}

```

Hey,

In which environment is running your trigger ? Because, in `development` and `staging` env, the `license` attribute is always `undefined`, as [stated in the documentation](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/marketplace/listing-forge-apps/):

> You will most likely need to test that your app behaves as expected when it is both licensed and unlicensed. However, `context.license` is undefined when your app is deployed to development and staging.

On the same documentation page, you will find a way to test your license state in theses both env.

Hi, what if it is in the production environment? And my product has been approved by Atlassian, can I get the license value?

Hi

The license value is only present for paid apps. If you have a free app on the marketplace this value will be undefined.

[https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/ui-kit-hooks-reference/#returns-3](https://developer.atlassian.com/platform/forge/ui-kit-hooks-reference/#returns-3)

> For free apps, apps not listed on the Atlassian Marketplace, and apps in development and staging environments, `license` is undefined.

Let me know if you’re still facing issues.
