Licensing MKE4

⚠️

You must have a valid license to lawfully run MKE4. For more information, refer to Mirantis Agreements and Terms.

Obtain your MKE4 license

Install the MKE CLI prior to downloading your MKE4 license.

Locate the Welcome to Mirantis’ CloudCare Portal email sent to you from Mirantis Support. If you do not have the email, confirm with your Designated Administrator that you have been added as a Designated Contact.
Click Environments in the top navigation bar of the MKE web UI.
Click the Cloud Name that is associated with the license you want to download.
Scroll down to License Information and click the License File URL. A new tab opens in your browser.
Click View file to download your license file.

ℹ️

Though MKE4 is generally a subscription-only service, you can obtain a free trial license from Mirantis. Make your request using the Mirantis contact form.

Add the license

Log in to the MKE web UI with an administrator account.
In the left-side navigation panel, navigate to Admin Settings -> License.
Insert the license into the license key field. To do this, click Choose File and navigate to the .lic file you previously downloaded. Alternately, you can copy-paste the contents of the .lic file into the field as a text string.
Click Save settings to update the MKE4 license.

Set the license in the configuration

Insert the license into spec.license.token in the MKE4 configuration file:
```
spec:
  license:
    token: <your-license-file>
```
Apply the license:
```
mkectl apply
```

Check the license status:

kubectl -n mke get mkeconfig mke -ojsonpath="{.status.licenseStatus}" | jq
