Before you could download licenses for everything you owned even without the game being installed. Now you must install a game first before you can get a license for it. This will have major implications for jail breaking.

To be fair, I'm pretty sure that's how PS5 handled that scenario even before this update.

That's the same conclusion I arrived at, but wasn't 100% sure. Since the act of downloading a game and the act of obtaining/transferring licenses both require the console to be online, I couldn't see what difference there would be to the user experience compared to before, even if the order it does those steps in is switched.
