5.2. Rotation and Expiration

License keys have expiration dates.

Verify Addins: If the key is for a specific package addin, ensure the package is installed and the addins.dcf file is formatted correctly with blank lines between entries [9, 12].

Automated Activation: Users report that once a license file (.lic) is selected, activation is immediate.

• List active licenses: rstudio-server license-manager list
• Deactivate (before server decommission): rstudio-server license-manager deactivate --key=XXXX

Online: If your workstation is connected to the internet, clicking OK instantly verifies the key with the server, and a "Registration Successful" message appears.

4. Common Registration Work Tasks

• User mapping (for named-user licenses): Synchronize portal user list with LDAP/Active Directory.
• Offline registration: For air-gapped environments, download .lic file and copy manually.
• License server deployment (floating licenses): Install Posit License Server, register master key, configure clients to point to http://lic-server:7070.
• Renewal: Before expiry, generate new key from portal and re-activate (no uninstall required).
• Seat reclamation: Remove inactive users from portal to free seats.
