License Activation Requirement

In order to ensure that your application and its images are only being used by the companies that you have authorized to do so, Replicated introduced a feature to tie a license to a specific email address.

By so doing, the license file is no longer the single factor to access & run your application. Instead, every time a new instance installation is attempted, Replicated will require that your customer provide an activation code that has been emailed to the associated email address of that license.

This feature is activated at the license level. During license creation (you can add/remove this at anytime… previous installations will not be impacted in anyway, except on reinstallation).

From the licenses page, select a license or create a new license:

Check “Require Activation” & include the email address of your customer.

During the installation process, immediately after uploading their license file (before any of your images are delivered to the customer’s installation) they’ll be prompted to input the activation code:

activate your license

If they check their email they should have an activation code sent from Replicated:
