License - D2iQ Docs

Purchase a License

You can evaluate Kommander running two clusters, the Kommander host cluster and one additional cluster, for free. If you want to add more clusters, you need a valid license.

To obtain a valid Kommander license, contact your sales representative at sales@d2iq.com. After purchase, download the license file from the support website using your login credentials to a place accessible by Kommander.

Enter a Valid License Key

After you have downloaded the license, an administrator must add it to Kommander.

In the Kommander UI, do the following:

Select Global in the workspace header drop-down.
In the side menu, select Administration > Licensing.
Select + Add License.
Paste your license content in the textbox and select Add.

Licenses Form

If there is an error submitting the license, you can add the license directly through kubectl.

Licenses Error

Entering a valid license via kubectl

You can add a license directly using kubectl.

Create a secret, replacing MY_LICENSE in the below command with your D2iQ-provided Kommander license:
```
kubectl create secret generic my-license-secret --from-literal=jwt=MY_LICENSE -n kommander
```

Create a license object:

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: kommander.mesosphere.io/v1beta1
kind: License
metadata:
  name: my-license
  namespace: kommander
spec:
  licenseRef:
    name: my-license-secret
EOF

In the above example, your license is named ‘my-license’.

You should then be able to return to the license page in the UI to see your valid license display: License display in the UI Licenses UI

Delete a license

To delete a license from Kommander, you have to delete the Secret and License objects. In this example, the secret is named “my-license-secret”.

Validate that the secret exists in the kommander namespace:

kubectl describe secret -n kommander my-license-secret

Expected output:

Name:         my-license-secret
Namespace:    kommander
Labels:       kommanderType=license
Annotations:  <none>

Type:         Opaque

Data

jwt:  455 bytes

Delete the secret from the kommander namespace:

kubectl delete secret -n kommander my-license-secret

Expected output:

secret "my-license-secret" deleted

We do the same with the License object. Validate that it exists in the kommander namespace:

kubectl describe license -n kommander my-license

Expected output:

Name:         my-license
Namespace:    kommander
Labels:       <none>
