What does "This Mac already has a license" mean when extending a trial?

Short answer: This Mac is already activated with a licence, so there's no trial to extend — you already have full access. Check Settings → License.

There's nothing to extend: this Mac is already activated with a licence, so the trial no longer applies and every feature is unlocked. Extending a trial only makes sense before you buy.

You can see your plan, its status and when it renews in Settings → License.
