Renew License
-
When your license expires Studio is blocked.
Client API operations and other RavenDB features will continue to work.
However, any usage of expired RavenDB licenses is outside the license agreement
and doesn't comply with the EULA terms. -
Renew your license as described below.

In this page:
Renew commercial licenses
- This section relates to all commercial licenses: Professional, Enterprise, and all ISV licenses.
Automatic renewal:
If your server has an active connection to RavenDB's License Server,
and if the DisableAutoUpdate configuration is Not set to true,
then these commercial licenses will be automatically renewed.
Manual (offline) renewal:
If the connection to the License Server is unavailable, contact customer service to extend your license.
A license renewal email will be sent to you (the license ID will stay the same).
Copy the new license key from the mail and proceed with one of the following options.
Either:
- Replace the existing license key with the new one from Studio, as described here.
Or:
-
Set DisableAutoUpdateFromApi to true.
-
Activate the new license key using the configuration keys.
-
Restart your server (needed only if any configuration key was changed).
Renew Developer & Community licenses
-
The Developer and Community licenses are renewed from Studio,
the 'Renew' button is available only for those license types.
- Servers using a Community license are required to run the latest major version.
E.g., if RavenDB7.0
is released and your server runs RavenDB6.2
with a Community license, you will be required to upgrade RavenDB to version7.0
. - Running a major version older than the latest with a Community license will block your server's access to Studio.
- This requirement does not apply to licenses other than Community.
- Servers using a Community license are required to run the latest major version.
They can be renewed when there are less than 30 days remaining on your current license.
