License Management
This page describes the management of fylr licenses.
License contract & Licences
The fylr server comes with a license management.
Once you have signed a fylr license contract, you will be given a fylr license. Depending on your licence contract this can be one licence or several licences. This license has to be entered into the fylr base configuration.
The license contract determines
How many production instances can be used
How many test instances can be used
Whether you licensed the edition workgroup, department or organization
Which other fylr add-ons, plugins or extensions, can be used
Licence Editions
| LICENSE EDITION | INSTANCES | ADDITIONAL FEATURES |
|---|---|---|
Workgroup | 1 production instance 0 test instance | All main fylr features |
Department | 1 production instance 0 test instance | + Authentication/ Single Sign-On |
Organization | 1 production instance 1 test instance | + Authentication/ Single Sign-On + Kubernetes Installation (Horizontal Scaling) |
All fylr license editions grant you the permission to use the system with an unlimited number of users / user accounts (read and write accounts) and unlimited data. However this can be treated differently in the fylr cloud.
Licence Add-ons
In your license contract you can choose from these license add-ons, which are either extensions or plugins:
Extension - Add 1 test instance
Extension - Add 1 production and 1 test instance (License Edition Department or Organization needed. Limit of a maximum of 5 production instances in License Edition Department.)

A list of allowed domains(
fylr.externalURL), which can be used to access the fylr server / instanceEdition of the license
License key
The information, whether it's a subscription license, or a buy license
A start and an end date, wherein the license is valid
Enabled capabilities
The license check works offline, the license management does not include any online component.
fylr version expiration
A fylr version can expire for two reasons:
The license has an expiration date set
The binary of the fylr version is older than 1 year
In case of expiration fylr runs with a limited functionality (see below). Please contact our team to help you, if you find yourself in that situation.
This limitation does not apply if all of the following applies:
the license is of type buy
the fylr binary was released before the license expire date
Administrators (configured in the base config email section) will receive an email warning 30, 5 and 1 day prior to the expiration.
fylr with an invalid or no license
If you don't have a license key at all, or don't have a valid license key, you can start a fylr instance, nevertheless.
fylr can be used without or with an expired license if one of the following applies:
The external URL
fylr.externalURLis set to localhost or ends in .localhostThe user is main administrator (system:root). In this case, other users cannot log onto the system.
In case of an expired license, no data ist lost.
If you cancel the subscription contract, you will not be able to use fylr from the cancellation/end date.
If you cancel a contract, which grants you the right to get fylr updates, which is linked to a license purchase (buy), you will not be able to use further updates. However, you are allowed to continue using all fylr versions, which were released before the cancelation / end date, since the license was bought.
