Requesting and Applying a License for CompleteFTP Beta on Linux

Introduction

This guide provides instructions for requesting and applying a license for the CompleteFTP Beta on Linux. Online activation is not available for the beta program, so you must follow the offline activation process outlined below. Before the license is activated, you can fully use the product except for connecting from machines other than localhost. Once activated, all features of CompleteFTP are available.

Requesting a License Activation Key

To activate your CompleteFTP Beta license, you need to request an activation key by following these steps:

Open a terminal and run the following command:

completeftp license activate offlinerequest beta

The command will return a URL. For example:

https://connect.enterprisedt.com/#/licenses/activate/beta/XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Copy the URL and include it in an email to support@enterprisedt.com. In your email, request an activation key for the beta license.
Wait for a response from EnterpriseDT Support containing the activation key.

Applying the Activation Key

Once you receive the activation key, apply it using the following steps:

Run the offlineapply command, replacing <activationKey> with the key provided by EnterpriseDT Support:
```
completeftp license activate offlineapply <activationKey>
```
Upon successful activation, you will see a confirmation message:
```
License activated successfully
```

Verifying License Details

To confirm that your license is activated, run the following command:

completeftp license show

This command will display detailed license information, such as:

Edition: The licensed edition of CompleteFTP (e.g., Enterprise).
Machine ID: A unique identifier for your server.
License ID: Your license identifier.
Expiry Date: The date when your beta license expires.
