User guide: License status and online activation

Open /license to inspect the host license and choose online or file-based activation.

Inspect the host license

Use the License link in Settings, or open /license on the host.

  1. Check status, grant type and remaining trial time. An unactivated host offers a short trial; business operation is restricted when it expires, as shown on the page.
  2. For reinstalls or migration, check the current device and installation identity under Local Information.
  3. An activated permanent license does not require the code again. Its valid certificate is stored locally and supports offline operation when the authorization service is unreachable.

Activate online with a license code

The host must be able to reach the authorization service.

  1. Open Activate and enter the code supplied by the authorization center.
  2. Submit activation and wait for device validation and certificate persistence.
  3. After permanent activation, check System Status. On failure, follow the reported network, code or binding issue.

Reinstallation, migration and license errors

The authorization service identifies same-hardware reinstallation from device evidence.

  1. Activate from the current installation or generate a new offline request. No manual first-install/reinstall mode selection is needed.
  2. For replacement hardware, follow the authorization service’s binding requirements. Activation files must match the target device and installation identity.
  3. For revoked licenses, invalid certificates or binding mismatches, resolve the stated cause; activation does not recover automatically.
