Licensing

Overview#

Thank you for purchasing a Posit license. Below, we have listed links to the license activation instructions for each product.

License activation methods#

Currently, the recommended license activation method for products installed in customer-managed servers is to use license files instead of license keys. Activating your license using a license file is a more robust and flexible solution. Read more about license files in our License File Activation for Posit Products white paper. If you want to activate with a license file but currently have a license key, please contact Posit Support.

If you purchased your product through a marketplace with an offer not explicitly marked Bring Your Own License (BYOL), then your licensing differs from products purchased directly through Posit. Our current marketplaces include:

Please reference our Posit Cloud Marketplace Offers documentation and the sections related to your marketplace of purchase below for server setup information.
