Hi, I upgraded an existing influxdb3 core Installation via docker compose to Enterprise. I skipped the E-Mail Prompt in the compose yaml File. Everything works fine, but: seems I now have the 30 day Trial Version. How can I get a valid license File for a at-home license?
Thanks in advance, Heinz
Checking into this internally.
Add to docker-compose.yml
> environment:
- INFLUXDB3_ENTERPRISE_LICENSE_EMAIL=XXXX@gmail.com
and
- –license-type=home
in command section
Thanks for your help. But it is still not working. I tried
–license-type=home in the command section
and
INFLUXDB3_ENTERPRISE_LICENSE_TYPE=home in the environment section
After rebuilding the docker container with docker compose I still have the trial license:
2026-01-17T10:51:01.175316Z INFO influxdb3_enterprise_licensing::trial: License verified
2026-01-17T10:51:01.175356Z INFO influxdb3_enterprise_licensing::trial: Trial Enterprise license verified
2026-01-17T10:51:01.175365Z INFO influxdb3_lib::commands::serve: valid license found, happy data crunching
What else to do?
Thanks in advance,
Heinz
@Pete_InfluxData any guidance on this issue ? Thanks!
Hi all, I found a solution. I deleted the Docker-Volume pointing to /var/lib/influxdb3/data, stopped the docker container, created a new volume with docker compose and now I can use the at-home license:
2026-01-19T11:21:57.079773Z INFO influxdb3_enterprise_licensing::trial: Home Enterprise license verified
The System Overview within the InfluxDB 3 Explorer also shows License Type Home. But also shows License expires in 11 days. Hope this is not a problem, the Home License should be withot an expiration.
Thans to all,
Heinz
Glad to hear that Heinz and thanks for sharing the solution for others.
