How to access host application license details during add-on license check

Question

The License Validation Rules suggest various error messages an add-on should create if it encounters a license validation error. Composing those messages would require the add-on to access some detail information from the host application license: * LICENSE_TYPE - on type mismatch error
* LIMIT - on max user (or max remote agent for Bamboo) mismatch I have not found any API entry point to access this information programmatically from within an add-on - am I missing something or is this information simply not exposed by the host applications? NOTE: This is basically a host application agnostic variation of How to programmatically access Confluence license details? (so far unanswered). We develop add-ons for various Atlassian applications and would like to handle license validation as uniform as possible.

This might help you or someone else in the future

License confluenceLicense = LicenseManager.getInstance().getLicense(ConfluenceBootstrapConstants.DEFAULT_LICENSE_REGISTRY_KEY);
if (confluenceLicense != null) {
    LicenseType licenseType = confluenceLicense.getLicenseType();
....

Yes, sorry, missed another class in my answer: LicenseService, (com.atlassian.confluence.license.LicenseService, see https://docs.atlassian.com/confluence/latest/com/atlassian/confluence/license/LicenseService.html)

ConfluenceLicense confluenceLicense = licenseService.retrieve();

get's you the confluence license object

Hm, as far as I can see, this would give me access to the PluginLicense (similar to com.atlassian.upm.api.license.PluginLicenseManager we use so far), but not to the *host application* license details the question is aiming at!?
