 The script matches on the payment, never on how alike two addresses look: `checkoutSessionId` names exactly one license, and the script refuses when two carry it. It prints the record, asks for confirmation unless `--yes` is passed, rewrites the stored `email`, and then mails a fresh file with `--mail` or prints it. Rewriting the address is the point, because resend looks customers up by it; a typo left in Keygen makes every future download another ticket. A buyer who lost the inbox takes the same path. Someone who fools support gets one license that can be suspended, a risk accepted over identity checks.
 
+A trial has no payment to prove, so the anchor is the address itself: support asks which exact address the trial was requested with and runs `--trial-email typo@... --email real@... --mail` in place of `--session`. The lookup filters on that address as typed and on its folded `trialKey`, so it finds only a trial issued to exactly that address, never a lookalike and never a paid licence there, and it refuses when two match. Someone who knows another person's exact address could have that trial repointed to their own inbox. They gain a free trial that expires and can be suspended, and the correction moves `trialKey` with the address, so the owner can claim a trial again; that risk is accepted as for purchases.

 ## Tests
 
-`tests/unit/license/test_issue.py` covers Keygen payload shapes, metadata filter syntax, the CE headers, trial expiry, address folding, plan resolution, derived ids and both duplicate-id answers; `test_message.py` and `test_release.py` cover the mail and the release lookup; `test_mail_guard.py` covers the mail check both POST routes run before Keygen. `tests/unit/mailer/` covers the SMTP error mapping, MIME shape, senders and configuration checks, and `tests/integration/mailer/test_smtp_contract.py` sends through a real SMTP conversation against Mailpit when `SMTP_INTEGRATION=1`. The route and rate-limit suites, and the Keygen and mailer fakes they stood on, were deleted on 15 Sep 2026 in commit `7f1195c76`.

 ## Known gaps
 
 - A refund suspends every license the Stripe customer holds, partial refunds included.
 - No test covers the license routes beyond their mail check, or their rate limits, and no contract test runs the Keygen client against a real Keygen.
-- `correct_license_email.py` finds a license only by `--session`, so a trial's address cannot be corrected through it.
