docs: document that license validation works offline (#24013)
## What Documents that Coder license keys are validated locally using cryptographic signatures and do not require an outbound connection to Coder's servers. This is a common question from customers evaluating Coder for air-gapped environments. ## Changes - **`docs/admin/licensing/index.md`**: Added an "Offline license validation" section explaining that license keys are signed JWTs validated locally with no phone-home requirement. - **`docs/install/airgap.md`**: Added a "License validation" row to the air-gapped comparison table, confirming no changes are needed for offline license validation and linking to the licensing docs. ## Why While the air-gapped docs state that "all Coder features are supported" offline, there was no explicit mention that the license itself doesn't require connectivity. This is a frequent question from security-conscious and air-gapped customers. --------- Co-authored-by: blink-so[bot] <211532188+blink-so[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Matyas Danter <mdanter@gmail.com>

## Offline license validation
|
||||
|
||||
Coder license keys are signed JWTs that are validated locally using cryptographic
|
||||
signatures. No outbound connection to Coder's servers is required for license
|
||||
validation. This means licenses work in
|
||||
[air-gapped and offline deployments](../../install/airgap.md) without any
|
||||
additional configuration.

## Adding your license key

There are two ways to add a license to a Coder deployment:
