License Management
Manage your API Platform license and features.
Administrators view activation state, entitlements, and technical license metadata, and can refresh, deactivate, or update the license key.
Where to find everything: Administration Settings.
Actions
- Deactivate license — release activation when migrating hosts or replacing a key (confirm if prompted). Also available inside the license details panel in some builds.
- Refresh — re-sync license state with the licensing service and refresh displayed status, expiry, and limits.
Current license status
Typical summary fields:
- Status — for example Active (often with a status indicator).
- Type — for example Trial (shown as a tag).
- Mode — for example On-premises.
- Expires — calendar date.
- Days remaining — countdown to expiry.
Usage metrics (labels vary by plan): servers allocated, users vs limit, validation mode (for example Heartbeat), activation limits, active activations, etc.
Available features
A grid lists enabled features for the current license (for example caps on API endpoints, executions per day, reporting, mocks, CI/CD, analytics, workflows, execution). Use this to confirm what your organization is entitled to run.
License details
An information-style panel often shows:
- Last validation timestamp
- Validation mode
- Deployment mode
- Activation ID, Installation ID, Hardware ID (support may ask for these)
Change license
- License key — text field with guidance to enter the key from your purchase.
- + Update license — applies the new key and validates it.
Recommended workflow
- Enter or update the key, then use + Update license.
- Use Refresh to confirm the UI matches the server.
- Confirm Available features and limits match your contract.
Troubleshooting
- Confirm outbound access if online validation is required.
- Verify the key is for the correct deployment mode and not expired.
- Deactivate on the old machine before activating on a new one when your policy limits activations.
