- This troubleshooting text still instructs users to “specify a correct key” and “visit Download Manager to obtain a valid license key”, which conflicts with the new DevExpress-key +
devextreme-licenseruntime-key workflow introduced elsewhere in this PR. Please update this guidance to match the new mechanism (generate the runtime key, then register it inconfig()/GlobalConfig).

- This page still instructs users to specify a license key in GlobalConfig and obtain a valid key from the DevExpress Download Manager. With the new mechanism described in the updated licensing topics (DevExpress key registration +
devextreme-licenseCLI-generated runtime key), these instructions appear outdated and can mislead users troubleshooting W0021. Please update this text to match the new key flow (DevExpress key vs generated runtime key and where users should obtain/configure each).

- The guidance for W0021 still refers to specifying a “DevExtreme license” key in GlobalConfig and getting the key from Download Manager. This looks inconsistent with the updated licensing flow in this PR (DevExpress license key +
devextreme-licenseCLI-generated runtime key). Please update this message text to match the new mechanism and point readers to the updated “Validate Your License Key” instructions.

- The remaining validation guidance (for example, the W0021 case) still tells readers to obtain a “valid license key” from the DevExpress Download Manager and to “specify a correct key in the GlobalConfig.” This conflicts with the new flow described elsewhere in this PR (DevExpress license key registration +
devextreme-licenseCLI generating a DevExtreme runtime key). Please update this row’s remediation text to reflect the new mechanism and link to the updated “Validate Your License Key” steps instead of pointing users to Download Manager for a DevExtreme key.
