Is the Software License Manager compatible with PHP v8+?

Just a bit more information. I’m asking because I encountered the same issue described here

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/php-warning-of-creating-license/

but the previous person that pointed out the issue did not describe it in details so let me add additional information

For me it’s this warning
PHP Warning: Undefined array key "item_reference" in /path/to/slm-api-listener.php on line 118

Why it’s appearing
In PHP 7.4 and earlier, accessing an undefined array key would generate an E_NOTICE level error, which is often suppressed or ignored in production environments.

In PHP 8+, this behavior has changed:
PHP 8+ Behavior: Accessing an undefined array key now generates an E_WARNING level error.

That’s why the error appears for anybody switching to PHP 8+, in my case 8.2 (unless errors are disabled somewhere in the flow)

for example
$fields['item_reference'] = trim( sanitize_text_field( $_REQUEST['item_reference'] ) );

the code attempts to access $_REQUEST without checking if the key exists in the $_REQUEST array. If this key is not present in the request (it’s an optional parameter), PHP 8 we’ll raise that warning

To temporarily solve this issue, I switched off display_errors = Off in php.ini
