License

License shows current entitlement state and lets an authorized administrator activate with an install token or request a fresh validation.

Where to find it: SDM sidebar > License.

Available to: root and admin.

What this page does

The page explains whether the installation has valid license material and whether refresh/validation succeeds. License state can affect product operation, but it does not repair DNS, network, or provider configuration.

Before you start

Obtain the install token through the approved Synconix channel and keep it secret. Confirm server time, outbound connectivity, and the licensed installation identity before replacing working material.

Actions and states

  • Install Token / Activate: submits new license material; the field is intentionally empty until the operator supplies it.
  • Refresh / Validate: requests current validation without inventing a new token.
  • Status: shows active, pending, expired, invalid, or service error context and the current material summary safe for display.

Do not place a real token in documentation, chat, screenshots, or audit notes.

How to use it

  1. Read current status and message.
  2. Use Refresh/Validate for a previously working installation.
  3. Use Activate only with the correct install token for this server.
  4. Wait for the result and refresh the page.
  5. If validation fails, preserve the error and verify time/network before replacing material again.

Result and next check

The page reports a valid current license and normal product access. If it does not, the returned validation reason—not repeated token pasting—determines the next step.
