The Ignite UI for Angular packages are available to install on npm with no credentials. I'd have to assume that purchasing the license is only for applying a key within the project somewhere as proof of purchase, otherwise there's no way of knowing if I'd purchased a license.
Am I correct in this? I've been using Ignite UI for Angular to see if it's a viable choice for our web application. In deciding that it's a good choice for us, what affect does buying the license have if all features are already available and demos are open for downloads?
Another way of asking the question is: What checks are there to prevent someone from using the components when everything is freely available to use without the license?

This doesn't answer how to integrate a valid license/subscription into an Angular application. What is the process and how does it vary (if at all) from environment to environment (ex: cloud providers vs hard-ware deployment environments)?
