Managing Licenses

In M-Files Cloud, it is not necessary to manage the server and module licenses manually. In other M-Files environments, you get the necessary license information from the Licenses page in M-Files Manage.

The Licenses page shows licenses and keys related to your subscription and lets you copy or download them.
  • The Server license section shows the serial number and license code that activate your M-Files subscription.
  • The Module licenses section lets you download license files of modules (for example, vault applications) included in your subscription. You can download a specific license file with the Download icon next to the module name or download all licenses as a ZIP file with the Download all option.
  • In the API keys section, you can see and copy M-Files API keys for your M-Files components, such as M-Files Aino.

Are you a new customer?

In M-Files Cloud, the M-Files subscription is automatically activated for all new customers.

In other environments, you must install the server license yourself in M-Files Admin with the license information shown in the Server license section. For instructions, refer to the M-Files user guide.

Important: For security reasons, the server license code is not fully shown in M-Files Manage. To get the complete license code, click the Copy icon next to it.

Do you need to install licenses yourself?

In M-Files Cloud, you do not need to install any licenses yourself. In other environments, you must install the server license for new M-Files servers. After the activation, you get the licenses automatically for official M-Files add-ons if the subscription uses license automation. If manual installation of module licenses is necessary, refer to the M-Files user guide for instructions.
