The license

The panel works with a license issued by Esalogica for your server. The license says which modules you can use and with which limits, for example how many subscriptions.

The page is Server › License.

Activating the license

Write the Activation code you received, in the form ESAP-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX. The panel sends it to the license server of Esalogica, which binds the license to this server.

A new code replaces the current license. To add a module to the license you do not need a new code: Check now brings it. If the module is not installed on the server yet, the page says so: install it with esapanel-setup (see Installation).

Without a valid license only the administrator can sign in to the panel, on this page. The services already configured, such as the reception of the logs, keep working.

The daily check

Every day the panel checks the license with Esalogica, and receives renewals and changes by itself. Check now does it at once, for example after a renewal.

If the check fails, for example without Internet, nothing stops: the license stays valid until it expires, and after 7 days you receive a warning. Check that the server reaches license.esalogica.com on port 9444.

Expiry

  • The administrators receive an email 7, 3 and 1 days before the expiry, on the day itself, 5 and 10 days after, and when the panel has stopped. After signing in they see it from 7 days before.
  • After the expiry the panel works for another 10 days, with a warning to everyone. A Trial license stops at once.
  • A renewal reaches the panel by itself and stops the emails.

Another machine

The license is bound to this server by a fingerprint, which changes when the server is restored on another machine or copied. After a restore on another server, or on a copy of the server, the license belongs to the previous machine: the panel works for 10 days.

Transfer the license to this server with the button on the page. A license moves by itself up to 2 times in 30 days; beyond that, the transfer waits for the approval of Esalogica.

The page shows the fingerprint: Esalogica may ask you for it to issue a license by hand or to follow a transfer.
