Located under Settings > Account Settings, Your License enables the administration and viewing of usage details of the provided license within the User Interface (UI).

Sandfly is licensed per host for each customer. If you are looking for licensing options or need a license key, please go to: https://sandflysecurity.com/get-sandfly/🡵

Any changes to the license require the admin account or a user with the admin role.

License Information

Full details regarding an applied license and its current usage are located in the License tab.

Updating a License

To replace an existing license, begin by navigating to the License tab. Then click the Update button, which will open the corresponding form.

Next, copy the license key text and paste it into the License Key field exactly as it was provided. Non-subscription keys are cryptographically signed, so any portion of the key's text that is missing or malformed will be rejected. Finally, click the Update button 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.
