License

Navigate to System > License to view your current license status and manage activation.

License Status

The page displays a status banner at the top indicating the current state:

Status	Banner	Meaning
Active	Teal	License is valid and all licensed features are available
No License	Yellow	No license file has been uploaded — activation is required
Invalid	Red	License is expired, corrupted, or does not match the current hardware

License Details

When a license is present (valid or invalid), a details card shows:

Field	Description
Product Name	The licensed product tier (e.g., "Koios Pro")
License ID	The license key identifier
Request ID	The activation request identifier (for support)
Hardware ID	The machine fingerprint this license is bound to
Expiration Date	When the license expires, with a relative countdown
Product Features	List of features included in the license

The License ID, Request ID, and Hardware ID fields are copyable — click them to copy to your clipboard.

Activating a License

If no valid license is present, the page shows the three-step activation wizard. This is the same flow shown on first login.

For step-by-step activation instructions, see Licensing Koios.

Re-Activation

If you need to re-activate — for example, after moving Koios to a different server or VM — click "Need to re-activate your license?" on the license page. This expands the activation wizard so you can generate a new activation file for the current hardware.

Hardware-tied license

The Koios license is bound to the hardware it was activated on. Moving Koios to different hardware invalidates the existing license file. You'll need to generate a new activation file and obtain a new license file from the portal.

On first login to a new Koios installation, the application guides you through an onboarding sequence:

Account setup — optionally set your email, name, and a new password
License activation — the three-step activation wizard
Application access — after activation, you're taken to the home page

You can skip both the account setup and license activation steps, but without a valid license the platform operates in a limited state.
