How Licensing Works
- Self-hosted
The License section displays the current license status for your Qualytics deployment. It allows administrators to monitor the expiration date, generate a license request, and apply a signed license.
Permissions
Only users with the Admin role can view and manage the license. See the Permissions page for details.
Deployment Identifier and License
Every self-hosted installation requires a deployment identifier provided by Qualytics. The identifier is required Helm configuration and remains the same during upgrades. It is separate from the license request generated by the running deployment and the signed license returned by Qualytics.
Fields
The section displays the license expiration date and provides two action buttons for license management.
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Expiration Date | The date and time when the current license expires, displayed in your local timezone (for example, Dec 30 2027, 9:00 PM (BRT)). If no valid license is found, it displays No license found. |
| Generate License Request | Generates a license request code for an initial or renewed signed license. See Generate License Request for step-by-step instructions. |
| Update License | Opens a modal where you can paste a signed license provided by Qualytics. See Update License for step-by-step instructions. |
Expiration Warning
The Expiration Date changes color and shows a timer icon based on the license state:
| State | Icon | Text color | Tooltip on hover |
|---|---|---|---|
| Expiring soon (within 30 days of the expiration date) | Warning (orange) | License expires in less than a month | |
| Expired (past the expiration date) | Negative (red) | License has expired |
Grace Period
For new deployments without a license, Qualytics provides a 31-day grace period starting from the first datastore creation. During this period, all features are fully available.
- If the grace period is still active, an alert displays the number of remaining days (for example, "A license is required after 31 days of datastore connectivity").
- If the grace period has expired without a valid license, an error alert displays "Grace period expired" and new data operations do not start until a valid signed license is applied.
Tip
If your license is nearing expiration or has expired, generate a license request. Contact your Qualytics account team or support team to arrange an approved secure transfer method for the request and signed license. Do not place either value in ordinary email.
