Import license

To start using commercial versions of DBeaver you can:

You will receive a license text by email, and it will also be available in your personal account on our website.

Info

The license text contains your License ID (for example, DB-841MRZHY-ZH54), start date, and the license owner's name and company.

Import from email

  1. Copy-paste the license key

    Note

    You need to copy-paste the full license text (not just the license ID). The license text starts with “–” and ends with “==” characters.

    Sometimes an email client can corrupt the formatting of the license key that can cause an error.

    Therefore, you need to import your license key from your personal account on our site https://dbeaver.com/signin/.

  2. Insert the copied license key to License Manager in DBeaver

Import from the personal account

  1. Sign in

  2. Open the Licenses tab, where you can find all your licenses

  3. Click the license ID link. Here you can find your license status, type, maintenance period, and end support date

  4. At the bottom of the page you can find the license key required to start using DBeaver. There are two options how to copy your license key from the personal account:

    • press the COPY TO CLIPBOARD button, then press OK. The license text will be copied to the clipboard

    • press the DOWNLOAD LICENSE button, then press OK. The .txt file with your license key will be downloaded to your download folder. The file name is License ID, e. g. DB-841MRZHY-ZH54.

  5. Insert the copied license key to License Manager in DBeaver

Import on startup

If you want DBeaver to detect the license file automatically (for example, when deploying on multiple machines), you can place the license file in a predefined location before the first launch.

Info

For details, see License Administration.

Activate license

Insert the license key into the License Manager

  1. Go to Help -> DBeaver License Info -> License Manager in DBeaver.

    The License information window can look different depending on whether you already have a valid license or not.

  2. Open the License Manager and press the Import button to paste your license key.

    • If you copied the license key to the clipboard, press the Paste button and then Import.
    • If you downloaded a .txt file with the license key, press the Load button and then select the file from Downloads. The license key will be pasted automatically.

  3. Press the Import button and your license will be added to the License Manager.

  4. Now you can close the License Manager and start using DBeaver.

Troubleshooting

Unable to activate a monthly subscription license

A monthly subscription requires internet access on the workstation for the first activation and each prolongation.

If you do not have an active internet connection or work behind a corporate firewall while importing the Subscription license, the following error can appear:

Invalid subscription
Can`t find the subscription information for license ‘DB-841MRZHY-ZH54’.
Check your internet connection and/or firewall settings and restart the application.

In this case, you need to check that DBeaver has internet access. If you're behind a firewall, you may need to configure a proxy. The UI option might not be available in such cases. For instructions, see Configure proxy using system files.
