Licenses

How can I obtain a license?

  • You can request your token for the free IT-100 edition on our website.
  • If you have purchased a license, request your license files from our support team.

Types of licenses

According to your Centreon edition, your license can be:

  • online: uses a token. Your Centreon platform must be connected to the internet.
  • offline: uses one or several license files

Which modules require a license?

The following modules need to be installed separately and require a valid license.

Viewing license-based modules

Go to Administration > Extensions > Manager. All modules currently installed on your platform have a green button with a white tick mark in it. Modules that require a license have a colored banner at the bottom (red if you have no valid license, green if you have one).

Troubleshooting licenses

"No valid file uploaded"

Check the contents of the following directory:

ls -lah /etc/centreon/license.d/

If the directory already contains licences with rights that are not apache/apache, delete them or change their rights so that they can be overwritten by the new licenses:

chown apache:apache /etc/centreon/license.d/*
chmod 640 /etc/centreon/license.d/*

"Your EPP license is not valid"

  • Check that the fingerprint of the central server (on page Administration > Extensions > Manager) matches the fingerprint in the license.

    less /etc/centreon/license.d/epp.license
  • Check that you do not have more hosts than your license allows. Use the following command:

    SELECT COUNT(*) FROM centreon.host WHERE host_register='1';
