Software activation

Licensing

Associate the JKPanel Pro installation with an authorised deployment while keeping customer infrastructure credentials separate.

Licence purpose

JKPanel Pro licensing identifies an authorised software deployment. Licensing is separate from provider credentials used for hosting panels, registrars, gateways and other integrations.

Activation workflow

  1. Install

    Deploy the authorised JKPanel Pro release.

  2. Identify deployment

    Use the hostname and deployment identity required by the licence workflow.

  3. Activate

    Submit the valid licence information through the supported activation process.

  4. Validate

    Confirm the application reports the expected licensed state.

  5. Protect

    Do not publish licence artefacts or private deployment credentials.

Server or hostname changes

A server migration, public-IP change or hostname change can affect the identity associated with a licensed deployment. Plan licence reassignment or reactivation before moving a production installation.

Provider credentials are not licence credentials

  • Server-panel API tokens belong to the customer environment.
  • Registrar credentials belong to the customer environment.
  • Payment gateway secrets belong to the customer environment.
  • Mail relay or SMTP credentials belong to the customer environment.
  • Distribution packages should not contain JKSolutions production provider secrets.
