Licensing and trial¶
Artekis is licensed per gateway through Ignition's own licensing system. The key is issued by Artek and activated beside your Ignition key under Platform → Licensing; a gateway holds several keys, and activation binds the key to the gateway. One licence runs every playbook.
| State | What runs |
|---|---|
| Trial (no key activated) | the platform's 2-hour trial, resettable from the gateway like any module's. While it is live everything runs. When it expires scheduled and triggered runs stop; Ask, the views, the Status page and the scripting reads keep working on stored findings, and Status says "trial expired". |
| Evaluation key | a key with an expiry date, one per gateway. Everything runs until the date, then runs stop with no grace period. |
| Subscription key | everything runs; after the expiry date, 30 days of grace with a banner on every Artekis page and one WARN log line a day, then runs stop while reading continues. |
| Perpetual key | no expiry. |
| Maker Edition | fully activated and free under Maker's own non-commercial terms, as stated in the licence agreement. |
The Status page shows the licence mode, its expiry, the grace state and the key's edition restriction
(alarm-health in 1.0). A key is never required to read findings, run the nightly prune or use the views.
The web pack (section 11.4) ships under the same module EULA.
