Ping Identity license keys
License keys are required to install, update, and renew all Ping Identity products.
How to obtain a license
To obtain a license key, contact your account representative or use the Ping Identity licensing portal.
When do you need a license
A license is required for setting up a new single server instance and can be used site-wide for all servers in an environment. Additionally, you must obtain a new license when updating a server to a new major version, such as when upgrading from 7.3 to 8.0. When cloning a server instance with a valid license, you do not need a new license.
The update process displays a prompt for a new license. |
