Understanding the Unimus License Key: Activation, Types, and Management

Unimus is a powerful network automation and configuration management tool. To unlock its full functionality—moving beyond the free tier limitations—you need a valid Unimus License Key. This key acts as a digital certificate that authorizes your specific Unimus server instance, defining what features are available and how many network devices it can manage.

How to Obtain and Apply Your License Key

Method A: Web UI Activation (Recommended)

1. Log in to your Unimus web interface (default port 8085).
2. Go to Menu (☰) → Settings → License.
3. Locate the text box labeled "License Key".
4. Carefully paste your key (e.g., ABCDE-FGHIJ-KLMNO-PQRST-U). Ensure no extra spaces.
5. Click "Activate License".
6. Unimus will contact the activation server. Within 2 seconds, you should see: "License successfully activated. Valid until [Date]."

Error 4: "License Expired"

• Cause: Your subscription ended. Unimus enters read-only mode after 30 days of expiration (no new backups, but existing configs are viewable).
• Fix: Renew via your reseller or the Unimus portal. You do not need a new key; reactivating the old key downloads a new expiry date.
