Deploy license¶

Nebula Graph Enterprise Edition requires the user to deploy a license file before starting the Enterprise Edition. This topic describes how to deploy a license file for the Enterprise Edition.

Precautions¶

• If the license file is not deployed, Nebula Graph Enterprise Edition cannot be started.

• Do not modify the license file, otherwise the license will become invalid.

• If the license is about to expire, send email to inquiry@vesoft.com to apply for renewal.

• The transition period after the license expires is 7 days:

  • If you start the Enterprise Edition within 3 days before the license expires or on the day the license expires, a log will be printed as a reminder.
  • The license can still be used for 7 days after it expires.
  • If the license has expired for 7 days, you will not be able to start the Enterprise Edition, and a log will be printed as a reminder.
