Arbitrator and Dashboard Licensing#

admin-users-only

Overview#

The VOSS Insights product and features are activated via a product key (license file) that is loaded on to every Arbitrator and Dashboard server.

Courtesy Product Key (License) on Install#

When installing with an ISO file (new install), a 7-day courtesy product key (license) is automatically applied.

The courtesy product key allows you to log in and access the system user interface until you’ve received your official product key from VOSS.

You’ll need to replace the courtesy product key via the About page within 7 days from install with your valid product key.
