@tdruez could you please tell me what details and in what order the details should be shown?

Also you suggested

The "View more details" modal does not provide much more interesting data than the dropdown. We should improve the dropdown to have links like the modal, and probably get rid of the modal.

You mean we need to get rid of modal completely or instead of having a model for view more details(above) the app will be having modal triggers at license keys i.e, for each key in keys section.

IMHO we can keep the hover only as long as we can copy text from it too As for the content, we should have all the data available for a license match.
