When running dark mode on an elevated window, the license is not loaded in the second WindowTop process

[gileli121]

When you have an active license, but WindowTop is running as a non-admin, and you attempt to enable dark mode for an admin window (from an elevated process), WindowTop is designed to launch a second process with elevated permissions. When this happens, the OS prompts the user to grant admin access. Once granted, the secondary process successfully starts. This secondary process handles the toolbar display on admin windows (through the elevated process).

However, for some unknown reason, this secondary helper process does not load the activation status. As a result, when the user attempts to enable a pro feature, the helper process incorrectly shows a message indicating that the feature is paid.

This issue occurs specifically when trying to enable "Keep Colors" or "Filter Images." Furthermore, the problem does not remain limited to admin windows; it appears that the secondary process somehow starts handling other non-admin windows as well, causing the app to incorrectly indicate that it is not activated.

This is a high-priority bug, likely introduced with the new licensing implementation in version 5.23 (https://github.com/WindowTop/WindowTop-App/releases/tag/5.23).
