Ispmanager license activation

Ispmanager license activation

Ispmanager checks the license information on a daily basis. The panel automatically sends requests to the license server to receive updates about the expiration date, tariff, etc.

After the license is successfully activated, this information is always saved to the ispmgr.lic file in the /usr/local/mgr5/etc/ directory.

Activation by IP address

The IP address is specified in the license settings in your Client area. You can specify it when purchasing a license or add it at any time.

An attempt to activate a license by IP address is made immediately after ispmanager is installed. The panel sends a request to the license server and checks if a license for that IP address exists. If the license is found, the panel is activated. Otherwise, the panel stays inactive waiting to be activated.

The license will be activated automatically if an external IP address of the server with the panel is specified in the license settings in your Client area. 

Activation by key

Used if:

  • the server with the panel is behind NAT (no external IP address)
  • there is no IP address on the server's network interface

A key is a unique digital number used to activate a license. Each key can only be used once. You can view an existing key or generate a new one in your Client area.

There are three ways to activate the license manually:

The two latter methods are available if the panel is already installed on the server.
