Entering your license key

Your license key activates the install and is captured automatically during installation.

The key is seeded for you

You provide the license key once, to the installer. The installer stores it in .env.docker as LICENSE_KEY, and the application reads it into its settings on boot. The setup wizard then pre-fills the license-key field from that value, so you do not have to re-enter it.

Confirming it in the wizard

On the setup screen, simply confirm the pre-filled key (format SUMMIT-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX) and submit the wizard. The key is saved into system settings, and the license client primes its status cache so the install knows its current standing.

If the key is missing or wrong

The license key is also the credential used to pull the application image during install. If the key was not active when you installed, the image pull would have failed with an error that the key was not accepted. If you need to change the key after install, update LICENSE_KEY in .env.docker and restart the stack.

The license client never hard-locks the app, so an unreachable license server during setup will not block you from finishing.
