License Management

CloudBeaver uses a license to manage access and enforce usage limits. Each license includes validity period and product scope. CloudBeaver checks the license automatically and blocks access if it expires or becomes invalid.

Following products need a license:

Important

Licensing for CloudBeaver AWS is managed entirely through the AWS Marketplace.

License installation

Get the license from your profile on the DBeaver website.

Install license during initial server configuration

The license is added during initial server configuration.

To install the license:

  1. Open the license dialog.

  2. Choose one of the import options:

    • Copy and paste the full license text (not just the ID). It starts with – and ends with ==.
    • Use the file upload button to import the license from disk.

  3. Click Import to apply the license.

Install license using environment variable

You can install the license without using the UI.

Warning

When you install the license using this method, it can't be changed from the UI. Any changes made in the UI will be ignored and overwritten by the mounted file after restart.

Set the DBEAVER_LICENSE_CUSTOM_PATH environment variable to the full path of the license file (including the file name). For more information on setting environment variables, see CloudBeaver configuration variables.

License update

Licenses expire after a set period. You may need to update yours if it has expired, or if you’ve received a new or upgraded license.

Use one of the methods below depending on your situation:

Renew license

  • If the server has internet access, the license updates automatically after you upgrade it on dbeaver.com.

  • If the server doesn’t have internet access, open the Administration panel and re-install the updated license manually.

  • If the license is installed via environment variable, replace the license file at the specified path. The new license will be applied automatically after the next server restart.

Change license

If your license was updated:

  1. Go to Settings -> Administration -> Product Information.
  2. Click + Add license.
  3. Paste or upload your new license.

The previous license stays in the system but becomes inactive if the new one has a later issue date.

Info

Use the same steps to replace a trial license with an Enterprise license.
