Adding Your Licence

License your MobiusFlow® instance

All MobiusFlow® instances require a valid licence to run. Licences define the maximum number of MobiusFlow® objects that you can add to an instance. For more information about MobiusFlow® licences refer to the Licensing page.

What You Will Need?

1. A valid MobiusFlow® licence (licences can only be used on one device)

Adding Your Licence to a BalenaCloud Device

Licences are added to balenaCloud devices by setting a device variable. All required device variables are created automatically when you deploy MobiusFlow® to a fleet. For more information see Device Variables.

Licences must be added by overriding a device's licence variable and NOT changing the fleet's variables.

Navigate to your balenaCloud dashboard and login in

Navigate to the correct fleet and device

Select the Device Variables page. You will see a list of all of the device's variables with override buttons next to each variable

Device Variables for a device

Click the override button next to the MOBIUS_LICENCE variable

In the popup delete the text <replace with your licence code> and enter your licence code

Leave all other settings as their default values and click the Add button

Add a licence code

Your licence code will be shown in the Device Variables list (see Device Variables for more information on all of the device variables shown in this list)

MobiusFlow® will restart to install the licence

Licence entered

Updating or Replacing a Licence

If you extend an expired licence or you purchase a larger licence you do not need to update the licence code

Under some circumstances it may be necessary to enter a new licence code. In order to make the new licence code work follow the procedure above to enter a new code

You will also need to tell MobiusFlow® to renew its licence by setting the Device Variable MOBIUS_LICENCE_RENEW to true

Click the override button next to the MOBIUS_LICENCE_RENEW variable

In the popup change the value from false to true

Leave all other settings as their default values and click the Add button

Wait for MobiusFlow® to restart, confirm that the new licence is working and reset the Device Variable MOBIUS_LICENCE_RENEW to false

Click the override button next to the MOBIUS_LICENCE_RENEW variable

In the popup change the value from true to false

Leave all other settings as their default values and click the Add button

Congratulations, you have deployed your first MobiusFlow® device on balenaCloud.
