Invalid/expired nxCloudId causes "Nx key is expired. Renew license" (installing @nx/azure-cache)

[GrumpyMeow]

Current Behavior

When installing the package @nx/azure-cache i get the error message: Nx key is expired. Renew license, or contact support ([email protected]) for more assistance..

I was able to resolve the error by removing the invalid nxCloudId from my nx.json file.

@mandarini: I'm reporting this issue as it might be an issue others also experience

Expected Behavior

The error message put me on the wrong track:

• it references "powerpack-support" which made me think that it was still using the powerpack-package which i uninstalled.
• it states that the "Nx key is expired". I don't have a key yet. I want to retrieve a key by installing the package via nx add @nx/azure-cache.
• it was related to expired/invalid nxCloudId in my nx.json file.
