If the Activation Key is expired, the PS4 shows the following message on the Main Menu: "''This Development Kit is Expired. See DEVKIT_Activation-Users_Guide.''"
If the [[Activation Key]] was expired, the PS4 shows the following (Error) Message on the Main Menu: "''This Development Kit is Expired. See DEVKIT_Activation-Users_Guide.''"
