Offline license validation

Coder license keys are signed JWTs that are validated locally using cryptographic signatures. No outbound connection to Coder’s servers is required for license validation. This means licenses work in air-gapped and offline deployments without any additional configuration.

Adding your license key

There are two ways to add a license to a Coder deployment:

Coder UI

With an Owner account, go to Admin settings > Deployment.
Select Licenses from the sidebar, then Add a license:
On the Add a license screen, drag your .jwt license file into the Upload Your License section, or paste your license in the Paste Your License text box, then select Upload License:

Coder CLI

Ensure you have the Coder CLI installed.
Save your license key to disk and make note of the path.
Open a terminal.
Log in to your Coder deployment:
```
coder login <access url>
```

Run coder licenses add:

For a .jwt license file:

coder licenses add -f <path to your license key>

For a text string:
```
coder licenses add -l 1f5...765
```

How we calculate license seat consumption

Licenses are consumed based on the status of user accounts. Only users who have been active in the last 90 days consume license seats.

Consult the user status documentation for more information about active, dormant, and suspended user statuses.
