How to detect a license grace period via BTXML? Folgen

We are using Bartender strictly via BTXML through Commander.

Today, label printing stopped working, because there was a problem with the license server, and the grace period had run out.

Is there a way via BTXML to determine the license status of Bartender?  So that, if we are running in the grace period I would know about it right away and would be able to restart the license server before production is interrupted.

Thanks

PS:  Alternately, is there a way to query the license server directly to determine that it is up and that the license status is ok?  We can write code to communicate via any network protocol.. or execute code on the command line.  Network is better....  Thanks
