How to check Elasticsearch license history or past activations (Platinum/Enterprise)?

Five years ago, one of my customers purchased an Elastic license. The renewal date has now arrived, and they asked me to verify the current license status of their clusters. When I checked, all clusters with GET /_license API call, all have a basic license. My customer shared the invoice for the purchased license, but I couldn’t find any cluster with an active platinum license.

I also contacted the Elastic Turkey sales team, but since the clusters are on-prem, they don’t have any information either.

At this point, I’d at least like to confirm whether the license was ever activated on a cluster. Is there an API call (or another method) to check the license history in Elasticsearch?
