“There is no killswitch” is exactly what I would expect the person who installed a killswitch to say.

"You see, there is no kill switch, but you do have to install this software license that expires every tree months. That's so we know you paid for the required service updates and software support."

"But if you don't give a license, the plane doesn't fly!"

"Well, yes, but we can't shut it down remotely so it's technically not a kill switch."
