Mokonyx Licensing: Downloads & Updates

Details
Category: Guides
  • Applicable Software: MokonyxLicensing
  • Min Version Number: 1.0 and later
  • Max Version Number: Not Applicable

Getting updates

Mokonyx products check the licensing server update feed for new versions. Updates are delivered only to licensed installations.

  1. Ensure your license is active (see Activating a license).
  2. In your site Updates screen, check for updates as usual.
  3. Licensed updates download and install normally.

Behind the scenes the feed lists available versions and points at a gated download URL. Your site automatically includes its download identifier (DLID). If your license is invalid or expired, the download is refused - renew to restore updates.

Mokonyx Licensing: Company Accounts & Allotments

Details
Category: Guides
  • Applicable Software: MokonyxLicensing
  • Min Version Number: 1.0 and later
  • Max Version Number: Not Applicable

Allotments & self-service

Companies can buy a pool of seats (an *allotment*) and hand out licenses to their own users without contacting support.

How it works

  1. Your company purchases an allotment (a number of seats for a product), typically

through the Mokonyx Shop. It links to your service contract.

  1. A company administrator provisions child keys from the pool - one per user or site.

Each child key consumes one seat.

  1. Optionally restrict each child key to specific domains (see Domain authorization).
  2. When all seats are used, buy more to grow the pool; removing a user frees a seat.

Ask your account administrator for access to the self-service area.

Mokonyx Licensing: Administration

Details
Category: Guides
  • Applicable Software: MokonyxLicensing
  • Min Version Number: 1.0 and later
  • Max Version Number: Not Applicable

Administration: issuing keys

Administrators (with the *Issue licenses* permission) can mint keys via the admin tools or the REST API.

Key types

  • Generated - a new random key (default).
  • Imported - record an existing/externally-issued key (kept as a hash).
  • Internal - a perpetual in-house key: no expiry and unlimited seats, for

staff, dogfooding, and demo installs that must never lapse.

Options you can set: product, tier/package, expiry (or perpetual), seat limit, owner email, entitled services, and a domain allowlist. The plaintext key is shown once at creation - copy it then; only a hashed form is stored.

To draw a key from a company pool, issue it against an allotment (this consumes a seat and inherits the pool product/expiry).

Mokonyx Licensing: Licenses & Activation

Details
Category: Guides
  • Applicable Software: MokonyxLicensing
  • Min Version Number: 1.0 and later
  • Max Version Number: Not Applicable

Activating a license

  1. Install the Mokonyx product on your site.
  2. In the product licensing settings, paste your license key.
  3. Save. The product validates against the licensing server and records the activation

for your site domain.

The first successful validation locks the license to that domain (lock-on-first-use) and counts one seat. Validation repeats periodically (a heartbeat) to confirm the license is still active and not expired.

If activation fails, common causes are: a mistyped key, the domain is not authorized, the seat limit is reached, or the license expired. See Troubleshooting.
