Activate License

IOMesh currently offers two editions: Community and Enterprise. They differ in the maximum number of worker nodes and level of business support provided. You can find more information on the IOMesh official website at https://www.iomesh.com/spec.

IOMesh comes with a trial license when it is installed and deployed. However, it is recommended that you update the trial license to a subscription or perpetual license, depending on your IOMesh edition and how long you plan to use it.

Prerequisites

• Community Edition: Apply for the new license code at https://www.iomesh.com/license.
• Enterprise Edition: Get the license code either of a subscription or perpetual license from SmartX sales.

Procedure

1. Create a file license-code.txt and save the license code in it.

2. Create a Kubernetes Secret.

   kubectl create secret generic iomesh-authorization-code -n iomesh-system --from-file=authorizationCode=./license-code.txt
   

3. Add the field spec.licenseSecretName or update it if it exists. Fill in the value iomesh-authorization-code, which is the Kubernetes Secret name created above.

   kubectl edit iomesh -n iomesh-system
   

   spec:
     licenseSecretName: iomesh-authorization-code
   

4. Confirm the update, and whether the update is successful will be shown in the output.

   kubectl describe iomesh -n iomesh-system # Whether the update is successful will be displayed in the events.
   

   If the update fails, verify if you have entered the correct license code. If it still does not work, reset the field spec.licenseSecretName.

5. Verify that the license expiration date and other details are as expected.

   kubectl get iomesh -n iomesh-system -o=jsonpath='{.items[0].status.license}'
