License Management

The various functionalities of Micetro can be activated using specific license keys. There are five different keys, each corresponding to:

  • DNS module

  • IPAM module

    Note

    The IPAM license key unlocks both the DHCP and IPAM functionalities of Micetro.

  • Appliance module

  • Workflow module

  • Reporting module

Viewing License Keys

To view information about the licenses currently active on your system, navigate to Admin ‣ Configuration ‣ Licenses. Each active module is displayed in a card showing its associated license keys. These keys can be either active or expired.

The card also displays how much of the license you have used, for example, the number of DNS zones you have used compared to the limit of the license. This information is shown in a usage bar that is located in the upper right-hand corner of the card.

Additionally, the card shows the expiry date of the active license key in the bottom right-hand corner.

By selecting License Details in the upper right-hand corner of the page, you can easily monitor license usage and any related issues.

You can use the email link to contact our support team for any inquiries regarding your licenses. When you click the email link, it will automatically gather all active keys and usage information, compiling them into a text block that you can easily send to support for assistance.

Expired Keys

Notifications will alert administrators when a license key is expired or about to expire. Micetro provides a grace period of four months for license renewal. During this grace period, the product module will continue to function normally after the expiration date. However, after the grace period elapses, the module will cease to operate until the license is renewed.

Adding a License Key

When logging into a system without active licenses, the system will prompt users to enter new license keys via the License Management page. Additional keys can be added by pasting text containing valid license keys into the textbox at the bottom of the page.

To add new keys:

  1. Navigate to Admin ‣ Configuration ‣ Licenses.

  2. Scroll down to the Import license keys section.

  3. Paste the license information into the textbox.
