How to check which license key is being used

Each Dashboard Server instance should have only oneDashboard Server license key installed. This is usually either a trial license, or - after purchasing Dashboard Server - the Primary or Secondary license. You may have both a Primary and a trial license installed, for example, if you are trialing new features while considering a license upgrade.

To check which license is being used by an instance of Dashboard Server, open Dashboard Server on a particular server by using the localhost address on the server itself or using the server name in the URL, for example https://SquaredUpServer/SquaredUpv5/

  1. In Dashboard Server click on the right-hand menu ☰ and then on system.
  2. Click on licensing .

Here you can remove a license, but if you accidentally remove the active license you may not be able to access Dashboard Server again without contacting SquaredUp Support.

Types of licenses

Trial license This license allows for unlimited users and all features for a 30 day evaluation in your own environment and is available from here
Primary Production licenseThis license should be used if you only have one SquaredUp production server, or on your first SquaredUp production server if you are configuring a multi-server / high availability environment (see Enabling High Availability).
Secondary license

This license should only be used for any subsequent servers in a multi-server / high availability / load balanced environment (see Enabling High Availability).

Test & Development license

This license is for your test environment so that you can experiment with configuration changes and new versions without affecting production.
