A successful response will include store info as well as dates for when the software is considered "legit"
Note:
support-thru: the actual date support is valid through. This is for displaying somewhere to the customer (but this can be revoked at any time, so we instead check valid-thru)
valid-thru: will either be a date that is a few days into the future, or the end of support date. whichever happens first. (this is so superpawn is only "internet-less" for no longer than a week or so)
