Getting a licence

Kewos ERP runs under a licence. This is not paperwork bolted on top of the product: the server refuses to start until a valid licence is installed.

That is deliberate, and it cuts both ways. Removing or tampering with a licence can only close access, never open it.

A trial licence

To evaluate the product, ask for a trial licence. It lasts a few days, covers a small number of users, and gives access to every module.

Write to contact@kewos.io and tell us:

  • your company name;
  • how many users you want to try it with;
  • whether the installation is meant to last or to be thrown away.

You get back your licence token and your download credentials.

A full licence

A commercial licence carries your company, a number of users, a number of legal entities and an expiry date. It renews without reinstalling anything.

What the licence carries

UsersHow many active accounts are allowed.
CompaniesHow many legal entities the same installation may manage.
ExpiryThe date beyond which the licence is no longer valid.
Grace periodA window after expiry during which the installation keeps working, with a warning banner.

Checking your licence

On a running installation, Settings → Licence shows the status, the plan, the quotas consumed and the expiry date.

Machine-bound licences

On request, a licence can be bound to the server it is installed on. It is extra protection against copying an installation, and it has a price: the licence must be reissued if you change machine.
