Licensing

Gluesync is licensed with a signed JWT in a .dat file. Core Hub verifies it locally. There is no license server and no phone-home, which is why the same file works in an air-gapped rack.

What is in a license

Each .dat carries:

Type (Trial, Enterprise, Enterprise with Advanced Security, or NFR)
Enabled features
Product identification
Expiration date

The token is signed with a public/private key pair. Tampering invalidates it. You can inspect the payload (not the signature’s meaning) at jwt.io.

Types

Type	Duration	What it includes
Trial	30 days	Full product capabilities except Advanced Security. This is what a trial kit ships.
Enterprise	As agreed (commonly 1 or 3 years, or a fraction)	Production use of the platform except end-to-end node-to-node encryption.
Enterprise with Advanced Security	As agreed	Everything in Enterprise, plus AES-256 node-to-node data encryption. See Security.
NFR (not for resale)	As agreed	Partner, demo, or internal MOLO17 use. Same Control Plane surfaces; not a production entitlement.

Check or replace it

Three places tell you what you are running:

Control Plane — user menu (top left) → Settings → Licensing. Type, expiration, and upload of a new .dat. UI-focused steps: License management.

Uploading a .dat from the Control Plane is supported on Docker Compose deployments.

Core Hub log — look for a line like:

JwtLicenceKeyComponentSetup INFO - Licence key info [expireDate: Sun Oct 29 09:35:40 UTC 2023, plan: trial]

jwt.io — paste the file contents to read type and expireDate yourself.

When a license expires you can still open the Control Plane, but every pipeline is paused until a valid file is applied. MOLO17 watches commercial expirations and typically contacts you before renewal; do not rely on that as the only reminder — the UI also banners upcoming and actual expiry.

Say what you need: use case, connectors, Advanced Security or not, deployment shape (on-prem, cloud, air-gapped), and timeline. For a first look, the trial kit is faster than a custom file: Get Gluesync.
