Located under Settings > Account Settings, Your License enables the administration and viewing of usage details of an applied license within the user interface (UI).

Adding or updating a license requires a user with the admin role.

Licensing

Sandfly is licensed on a per-host basis. For licensing options or to start a trial, visit: https://sandflysecurity.com/get-sandfly/🡵

License keys are delivered by email. If you have not received yours, check your spam folder.

License Information

Full details about an applied license and its current usage appear on the License tab.

Updating a License

Replacing a license requires an account with the admin role.

1. On the License tab, click Update. The update form opens.
2. Paste the license key into the License Key field exactly as provided. Non-subscription keys are cryptographically signed; if any part of the key is missing or malformed, it will be rejected.
3. Click Update to save the key.

Once successfully submitted, the updated license information will be reflected in the displayed fields.

Subscriptions

The Sandfly Professional and Home Lab license types are provided through a subscription. Unlike an Air Gapped license, a subscription license requires that the Sandfly version is 5.3.1 or later and that the server remains connected to the Internet in order to maintain an "active" license status.

Subscription Management

An existing, applied subscription can be later managed through the use of the Manage button. Clicking on that button will open a new browser tab, taking you to the subscription provider and allowing the license owner to make changes.

If the subscription is changed and you would like to immediately reflect that change in the Sandfly UI, use the Refresh button to obtain the current information.

Both of the buttons mentioned above are only available when a subscription-based license has been applied.

When there are notices regarding a Sandfly subscription, they will be displayed at the top of the main Dashboard.

Alternatively, the corresponding subscription provider can be accessed directly:

• Stripe - https://billing.sandflysecurity.com/p/login/28o7tJe2vbLNfEA9AA🡵
• DigitalOcean - https://cloud.digitalocean.com/add-ons🡵 (The SaaS Add-Ons section of your account)

Subscription Status

To aid in the management of a Sandfly subscription, the following status states are used:

• active - When on a current, automatically renewing subscription.
• canceled - When a subscription has ended and its expiration date has passed.

Deleting a License

To delete the active license, simply click on the Delete (trashcan) button and then confirm the pop-up warning.

Inactive License

When a license expires, a warning message will be displayed at the top of the main Dashboard. Sandfly will remain accessible, allowing users to view existing alerts, results, and other data. However, active protection capabilities such as host scanning and data replication will not occur until an active license is applied.
