ProGet license activation automation

[forbzie22_0253]

Is it possible to programmatically activate a license via the API or stored proc?
From browsing the native api and stored procs I don't see anything that stands out.

As I understand it, I should be able to activate the same license key multiple times as long as it's the free edition

Thanks

Hi @forbzie22_0253 ,

This is not supported for ProGet Free edition at this time; but as long as ProGet is connected to the internet, it will auto-activate.

@atripp do you know the license activation URLs it will need to hit to activate?
This is so we can allow firewall access

Hi @forbzie22_0253,

ProGet will connect to https://my.inedo.com/services/v1/activate for activation.

Thanks,

Thanks

At present, I am building several ProGet servers using the same license key in the installation which seems to be working ok until I get to the activation stage.

Instead of activating successfully, ProGet throws up a manual activation required box, it asks me to logon to myinedo.com and paste a license key and machine UID to retrieve the activation code. Is it doing this because the license key has already been activated on a different ProGet server ?
Is there anyway to get round this with the free version? Is this expected in the free version?

Hi @forbzie22_0253 ,

If you're receiving a Manual Activation dialog, then it means ProGet cannot connect to our activation server. That is a requirement in ProGet Free, and it's not possible to work around.

I'm not sure what your use case is, but since you mentioned "several servers", I wanted to clarify that ProGet Free is restricted from connecting to another ProGet server. They basically need to be standalone and not part of the same system.

There is a ProGet Enterprise for Edge Computing Edition that has an activation-less model .

Thanks,
