How to apply a license and check its status

How-to Getting started licenseplansmultinodevalidation

Paste your license identifier in Panel, License, let the node validate it, and see the plan and the date it was last checked.

A License is per node and is tied to the node's public IP as the license server sees it. The Free tier needs nothing.

Steps

  1. Obtain the license identifier through the channel you received the software from (the online store is coming soon).
  2. In the admin interface open Panel, License.
  3. Paste the identifier and save. It is stored encrypted on the node.
  4. Wait for the first validation. The page shows the plan and the date it was last checked.
  5. For a cluster, load a Multinode license once on the master; every other node still needs its own License.

How it keeps working

  • The node checks in once a day. If it cannot connect it retries every hour for 48 hours, and the panel warns from the first failed contact.
  • The permit is signed by the provider and the node only holds the public key, so a fake license server cannot grant anything.
  • Nodes behind a shared public IP use a cluster license with one slot per node; each slot is a license you pay for.

FAQ

I changed the node's IP. What now?

Moving a node to a new IP is a normal operation and is meant to be self-service and rate-limited. That flow lives in the customer area, which is coming soon.
