Request a license

Running the RemotiveBroker requires a valid hardware license. For evaluation, try the 30-day free trial license. The license is tied to a single device on which the RemotiveBroker software is running.

You can request a new license directly through the RemotiveBrokerApp or by using the RemotiveCLI. Create a RemotiveCloud account when using the RemotiveCLI.

note

Note that trial licenses aren't visible under licenses in cloud.

Using RemotiveBrokerApp

When opening the RemotiveBrokerApp on an unlicensed RemotiveBroker you are asked to either request a license and then apply it or to simply apply an existing license. The screen looks like this:

If the hardware that's running the RemotiveBroker isn't connected to the internet, you are asked to switch between the RemotiveBroker Wi-Fi Access Point and a network with internet connectivity during the license flow. The guide in the RemotiveBrokerApp tells you when you should switch networks.
