Licensing
Local Docker features do not require a license. Activate and manage a license for remote host connections.
Local Docker features do not require a license. Activate, manage, or reset a license when you need remote host connections.
Overview
Local Docker features are free and do not require a license. The only paid feature is remote host connections, including SSH and multi-host management. Dockerman prompts you to activate a license only when you connect a remote host. See Pricing for current plans.
Activate
Open Settings → License
Paste your license key into the License settings page.
Verify online
Dockerman contacts the license server to verify the key.
Confirm activation
The status changes to Active, and Dockerman stores the license key and device identifier locally.
Manage devices
Each activation is bound to a device identifier. If you replace a machine, lose access to one, or reach the device limit, open License Self-Service and enter the purchase email and license key. The public license policy allows resetting all linked devices once every seven days. Follow the confirmation instructions sent by the service; Dockerman does not publish a guaranteed email-link lifetime in this documentation.
Startup and offline verification
Dockerman verifies the stored Ed25519 signature locally and also attempts an online revalidation on every launch. If the network request fails, the last valid license remains usable during a grace period. After 30 days without a successful validation, Dockerman removes the stored license and requires activation again.
