Configure license key

Use this page to configure an enterprise license key for Camunda 8 components. You can either enter the key directly in your values.yaml file or reference an existing Kubernetes secret.

Configuration​

Helm values​

Camunda 8 components consume enterprise license information through the following Helm configuration:

global:
  ## License configuration.
  ## @extra global.license
  license:
    ## @extra global.license.secret configuration to provide the license secret.
    secret:
      ## @param global.license.secret.inlineSecret can be used to provide the license as a plain-text value for non-production usage.
      inlineSecret: ""
      ## @param global.license.secret.existingSecret can be used to reference an existing Kubernetes Secret containing the license.
      existingSecret: ""
      ## @param global.license.secret.existingSecretKey defines the key within the existing secret object.
      existingSecretKey: ""

Provide the key directly​

Enter your license key directly in global.license.key.

global:
  license:
    secret:
      inlineSecret: >-
        --------------- BEGIN CAMUNDA LICENSE KEY ---------------
        [...]
        ---------------  END CAMUNDA LICENSE KEY  ---------------

Provide the key with a secret​

You can also store the license key in a Kubernetes secret and reference it from values.yaml. For more details on working with secrets, see Secret management.

  1. Create the secret:

    apiVersion: v1
    kind: Secret
    metadata:
    name: camunda-license
    stringData:
    key: >-
      --------------- BEGIN CAMUNDA LICENSE KEY ---------------
      [...]
      ---------------  END CAMUNDA LICENSE KEY  ---------------

  2. Reference the secret in values.yaml:

    global:
      license:
        secret:
          existingSecret: "camunda-license"
          existingSecretKey: "key"
note

Camunda 8 components without a valid license may display Non-Production License in the navigation bar and log warnings. These warnings do not impact startup or functionality, except that Web Modeler is limited to five users.
