License

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.

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

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
kubectl label secret my-license-secret kommanderType=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.

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>
