License, usage metering, and billing

How to create a license key and obtain the deployment package for rolling out the on-premise version of MassAccess in your own infrastructure.

Creating the license key

The license key is created in the company's cloud control panel:

  1. Sign in to the cloud control panel at https://massaccess.net/dashboard/on-premise and open Settings.
  2. Find the "Installation on your server" block.
  3. Click "Create a key for installation on your server".

License status

The application interface distinguishes pending, active, suspended, blocked, meter_inconsistency, unknown, and not_found states. After a license is created, the deployment package can be downloaded in any current state. Runtime and message delivery require valid activation; a suspended license stops message delivery and is restored through a separate management operation.

License, usage metering, and billing

The application regularly sends signed heartbeat and usage data for license validation, metering, and billing. Message sending is unavailable without an active license.

Obtaining the deployment package

Select the delivery method in the configurator and download its package. Docker Compose uses massaccess-compose.tar.gz; Kubernetes uses a separate massaccess-kubernetes-<version>.tar.gz archive. The packages are not interchangeable and must not be combined.

Transfer the selected archive over a secure channel. Extraction and verification commands are documented in the matching guide branch.

License blocking warningDo not run the same licensed package on multiple instances simultaneously and do not modify the archive service files before running — this may lead to license blocking.

What's next

After receiving the separate package for the selected delivery method, follow the corresponding guide.
