Licensing

Applies to SSHepherd 2.0

A license lets your C3 server open tunnels. FullArmor issues each license for your C3 server’s host name (FQDN) and a maximum number of agents.

Apply a license in the Administrator Console

  1. Sign in to the Administrator Console with an administrator account.
  2. Go to Settings, then click the License tab.
  3. Paste your license key into the new license key field.
  4. Click Save.

The License tab shows the license details: the date it’s valid through, the FQDN it was issued for, and the maximum number of agents.

If the key isn’t valid, the console shows an error such as “malformed token”, and your current license stays in place. Reload the page to see the license details again.

Apply a license with shepctl

Sign in with an account that has the manage-license permission, then run:

shepctl --license "<license key>" add-license

To see the current license:

shepctl list-license

Who can manage the license

The built-in admin role can view and change the license. To let another user manage it without full admin rights, give them a role with the manage-license permission. See Managing Roles.

When a license expires

From 30 days before the license expires, the console shows a “License expires in N days” banner. SSHepherd® doesn’t send an expiry email, so check the banner, or your license’s valid-through date, and renew in good time.

If your license expires, you don’t lose any data. However, users can’t open new tunnels until you apply a valid license.
