[Self-Hosted] Handle No More Seats on License Error #9972

Closed lucasvaltl closed 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe

Currently, errors due to licensing issues are not handled. This means that:

If a user is blocked from signing up because there are no more seats available on a self-hosted license, the error is returned in the URL but this is unclear to the user because they just see the sign up page again.

Describe the behaviour you'd like

The error in the URL is transformed into a notification on screen indicating that "sign up was blocked because of a lack of seats. Please contact your administrator to increase the number of seats."

Describe alternatives you've considered

Do nothing - would result in a bad user experience.
