Licensing
This document describes how to configure licensing for Flipt v2 and how it works.
Flipt v2 is licensed under the Fair Core License (FCL).
Most of the features in Flipt v2 are available in the free edition, however some features are only available after purchasing a commercial license.
See our licensing documentation for more information on the license and frequently asked questions.
License Configuration
You can configure the license key in the Flipt v2 configuration file or via environment variables.
You’ll need to restart your Flipt v2 instance for the license key to take effect.
Acquiring a License
You can get a 14 day trial license for the Pro edition via Stripe checkout.
The license will be emailed to you after checkout. After the trial period, you will need to provide a payment method to continue using the Pro edition.
You can also purchase a license by contacting us at support@flipt.io.
Trial Expiration
If you do not provide a payment method after the trial period, the license will expire and your Flipt v2 instance(s) will revert to the free edition.
This means that you will lose functionality such as Merge Proposals and other paid features.
License Renewal
Paid licenses will be renewed automatically on a monthly basis. You can cancel the subscription at any time.
Cancellations take effect immediately and you will lose access to paid features. You will be prorated for the remaining time in your current billing cycle.
See our licensing documentation for more information on how to cancel your subscription.
License Validation
Flipt v2 will validate the license key on startup. If the license key is invalid, Flipt v2 will start with paid features disabled.
You’ll see a message in the logs indicating that the license key is invalid.
Continuous Validation
Flipt v2 will continuously validate the license key every 12 hours.
This means that you will need to have an active network connection from the Flipt v2 instance to the internet to validate the license key.
We are working on a solution to allow for offline validation of the license key. If you have a specific use case that requires offline validation, please contact us at support@flipt.io.
License Expiration
If the license key expires, the Flipt v2 instance will continue to run but will be unable to access paid features.
