Request a License

Running the RemotiveBroker requires a valid hardware license. For evaluation, we offer a 30-day free trial license. For a commercial license, please contact hello@remotivelabs.com and read more about our pricing. The license is tied to a single device on which the RemotiveBroker software is running.

You can request a new license directly through the RemotiveBroker web application or use the [RemotiveCLI] (https://docs.remotivelabs.com/docs/remotive-cli). We recommend that you create a [RemotiveCloud] (https://docs.remotivelabs.com/docs/cloud/Introduction) account when using the RemotiveCLI, but it is not required.

note

If your email domain is not part of an organisation with a commercial license policy, you will receive a 30-day free trial license. Note that evaluation licenses are not visible under licenses in cloud.

When opening the RemotiveBroker web application on an unlicensed RemotiveBroker you will be 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 is running the RemotiveBroker is not connected to the internet, you will be asked to switch between the RemotiveBroker WiFi Access Point and a network with internet connectivity during the license flow. The guide in the RemotiveBroker web application will tell you when you should switch networks.
