Licence
This page applies only when PatchPilot runs on your organization's own servers. The hosted portal has no licence page.
Settings → Licence shows:
| Field | Means |
|---|---|
| Licensed to | Your organization's name in the licence |
| Devices | How many hosts are enrolled, of how many the licence allows |
| Valid until | The last day new hosts can be enrolled |
Its status is Valid, Ends soon, Ended, No licence or Not valid. When the licence ends soon or has ended, a banner at the top of the portal warns everyone.
When the licence ends or is full
Hosts that are already enrolled keep reporting and patching. Only new hosts cannot be enrolled until a valid licence with room for them is installed.
Install a new licence
Your server administrator puts the licence key you received in the setting
PP_LICENCE in the server's .env file, then runs
docker compose --profile appliance up -d. The page shows the new licence
straight away.
