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