yes obviously - but the limit you were referring to in the original question, which was the compiler limit, no-longer exists. The code is limited to (total flash - softdevice start) which depends on the softdevice you're using and the chip you have.

But the chip has a limit for the application

There isn't a limit if you have a licensed version

I purchased a Keil license. What is now the code size limit for the application with a license?

The softdevice does not count towards the limit - no. Only application code counts. The compiler has no idea at all that there even is a softdevice, it doesn't link it in, doesn't count in any way.

So yes your options are stick below 32k, buy a Keil license or use a different compiler (like gcc from the command line or Crossworks is what I use, cost but cheaper).
