Licensing Koios

Koios requires a valid license to operate. On first login, the application redirects you to a license activation wizard.

Activation Steps

Step 1: Enter Your License Key

Paste the license key provided by your Ai-OPs representative and click Download Activation File. This downloads a .req file containing your hardware fingerprint.

Step 2: Submit to the License Portal

Upload the .req file at the Ai-OPs license portal:

https://ai-op.com/license/

The portal will return a koios.lic license file. Download it to your computer.

Step 3: Upload the License File

Back in the Koios activation wizard, drag and drop (or browse to select) the koios.lic file. Koios validates the license and, on success, displays a confirmation screen.

You now have full access to the application.

Viewing License Details

After activation, license information is available at System > License. This page shows:

Product name
License ID
Hardware ID
Expiry date

Re-Activation

If you need to re-activate your license (for example, after moving Koios to a different machine), you can start the activation process again from the System > License page.

Hardware-Tied License

The Koios license is tied to the hardware it was activated on. If you move Koios to a different server or VM, you will need to re-activate using a new activation file.
