Turn your code into a license key

Every SecureGuard license is locked to the appliance it runs on: the node ID is signed into the key, and the appliance verifies it offline against an embedded vendor key. So we issue the key once you can tell us which box it is for.

Activate your license

Enter your activation code and the node ID your appliance shows, and we'll issue the license key for that appliance.

From the email you received after signing up or purchasing.
During setup the appliance shows its node ID — you'll need it to activate.

Where to find your node ID

The appliance generates it on first boot and keeps it on a dataset that survives OS upgrades, so it is stable for the life of the install. It is shown during setup and on System ▸ License in the console. It looks like a UUID.

Activating a second appliance uses another seat on the same code — the ID is unique per install, not per license.

What the key unlocks

The tier in the license determines scale and features. Paste the key into System ▸ License and the entitlements apply immediately — no reboot, no commit. How entitlements are derived →

Something not right?

No code yet? Get a free license. Lost it? Your codes are listed in your account, and you can also use the activation page directly. Still stuck: support@secure-guard.io.

Re-submitting the same code and node ID is safe. It returns the existing key and does not consume another seat.
