License Activation

License Client ID & Secret

Credentials provided with your ArangoDB Enterprise license. Used to authenticate license requests. See Kubernetes license setup for details.

Managed activation

Provide a Deployment ID to activate a license for a known deployment. The license server tracks the deployment state. No inventory file needed.

Inventory activation

Upload an inventory JSON file describing your deployment. Used for air-gapped or offline environments. Generate it using the Platform CLI tool:

arangodb_operator_platform license inventory --arango.endpoint <endpoint> inventory.json

The inventory file contains deployment details such as version, license type, deployment mode, and an execution timestamp. Example:

{
  "deploymentId": "6172616e-676f-4000-...",
  "items": [
    {"type": "ARANGO_DEPLOYMENT", "dimensions": {"detail": "version"}, "value": {"str": "3.12.8"}},
    {"type": "ARANGO_DEPLOYMENT", "dimensions": {"detail": "license"}, "value": {"str": "enterprise"}},
    {"type": "ARANGO_DEPLOYMENT", "dimensions": {"detail": "id"}, "value": {"str": "6172616e-..."}},
    {"type": "ARANGO_DEPLOYMENT", "dimensions": {"detail": "mode"}, "value": {"str": "SINGLE"}},
    {"type": "ARANGO_EXECUTION_TIMESTAMP", "value": {"time": "2026-04-24T10:32:09.038Z"}}
  ]
}

See Offline Setup for full instructions.

TTL

Optional. License duration. Accepts values like 24h, 168h, 7d, or 3600s. Defaults to the server-configured value if omitted.
