nolongervalid

Nolongervalid is a label used in information technology to indicate that a credential, token, or eligibility condition is no longer valid. It is not a formal standard, but a descriptive string that may appear in system messages, logs, or user interfaces to signal invalidation.

The term originated as a compact form of the phrase no longer valid. In software projects, nolongervalid is sometimes used as a value for status fields, flags, or enumerations. Its lack of spaces makes it convenient for code and data formats.

Contexts include authentication tokens that have been revoked, software licenses that have expired, or session data that is nolongervalid after a user action such as logout or account suspension. In APIs, a status field might carry the value nolongervalid to indicate that access should be denied.

Advantages include clarity in certain codebases and straightforward filtering of invalid records. Disadvantages include potential ambiguity for non-native speakers and inconsistent usage across projects; many organizations prefer more explicit terms such as expired, revoked, or invalid to avoid misinterpretation.

Related concepts include token revocation, credential expiry, access control, and invalidation.
