Licence Activation

Online activation

If your instance can reach the internet, this is the fastest path:

  1. Open the licence pane in the Data Orchester UI.
  2. Paste the activation code you received after purchase.
  3. The instance contacts the Amtiri portal, which verifies your subscription and returns a signed lease. The instance verifies that signature itself before applying it — nothing is trusted blindly.
  4. The instance then checks in periodically to renew its lease automatically. You don't need to do anything else; as long as the instance can reach the portal from time to time, the licence stays current on its own.

Offline activation

For air-gapped installs with no network path to the portal at all:

  1. From the licence pane, generate a DO Identifier — a small file that identifies your instance without exposing any secret.
  2. Send that file to Amtiri through your usual purchasing channel.
  3. Amtiri returns a licence file (or a short, typable key, for installs with no removable media) signed against your instance's identifier specifically — it cannot be applied to any other install.
  4. Apply the returned file (or type in the short key) from the licence pane.

What the states mean day to day

State What it means
Unlicensed Community limits apply. The engine keeps running; only a periodic restart timer nudges you toward activating.
Active Full entitlement for your edition.
Grace Your lease has lapsed but you're inside the grace window — everything keeps working while you sort out renewal.
Expired Existing configuration keeps running unchanged (it never de-energises a live process), but new changes are blocked until you renew.
