When the OpenVPN Access Server is installed without a license key it allows only 2 simultaneous VPN connections. There is no time limit or functionality limit on this mode. The only difference between a licensed Access Server and an unlicensed one is the amount of simultaneous OpenVPN tunnel connections the Access Server allows. To unlock more connections you can purchase a license key to unlock a certain amount of connections. We suggest you read about the licensing models available for OpenVPN Access Server, and the Access Server pricing page to learn more.

There are two licensing models. One is BYOL which means Bring Your Own License, which means you can install your Access Server on any supported system, and then buy and activate a software subscription license for it from our website. The other licensing model is specifically for Amazon AWS. On Amazon AWS you have the choice of using our cloud image which accepts a software license from our website, or you can use the AWS Marketplace to select and launch an instance with a specific amount of allowed connections, which gets billed through AWS directly and requires no separate license.
Please also note that having a software subscription license for OpenVPN Access Server does not mean you can connect to our servers with your OpenVPN client program. A software subscription license is meant for an OpenVPN Access Server installation on a server you manage. Purchasing and having an Access Server software subscription license does not mean that you can connect to openvpn.net with your OpenVPN client program. That is not a service we offer on openvpn.net.
If you are looking for a VPN termination service where you can connect your computer to an already existing VPN server for the purposes of securing your Internet traffic, take a look at our offering called Private Tunnel instead. But if you want to set up your own OpenVPN server based on our OpenVPN Access Server product, and need more than 2 simultaneous connections, then purchasing a software subscription license for OpenVPN Access Server is the way to go.
On our main website openvpn.net you can register for a free account. This does not obligate you to purchase anything; registration is free. With an account on our website you can use the purchase license key page and it will also allow you to gain access to the support ticket system. Please note that having an account on openvpn.net does not mean you can point your OpenVPN client program at our site and get connected with a VPN tunnel. Some people seem to get confused about this point but our website is just a website, not a VPN termination service. If you are looking for a VPN termination service, try Private Tunnel instead.
If you are experiencing problems activating your subscription activation key, or with an Amazon pre-licensed tiered instance, we recommend you take a look at this troubleshooting page for software licensing problems.
Starting with OpenVPN Access Server version 2.8 and above, you can now upgrade from a fixed license to the new, flexible subscription billing system. Our new system has evolved to support the Elastic Computing model of IaaS Cloud operations. We continue to retain our economical and meaningful model of charging based on the needed number of simultaneous VPN connections.
We improved the security of our fixed licenses with version 2.6.1. If you prefer to continue using fixed licenses, you can continue to do so with your license key. We do encourage you to keep your Access Server updated. Running on the latest version is good security etiquette.
If you try to activate a new license key or a renewal license key on an outdated and unpatched OpenVPN Access Server, you will see an error message. To resolve that, follow the instructions to either upgrade your Access Server to the latest version, or apply a licensing patch.
When you activate a license key, you do not keep the two free connections you start with. Upon activation, the stated connections from your license become the supported amount. For example if you are testing the Access Server without a license key, and you are allowed to connect two devices simultaneously to it, and you then activate a purchased license key for ten connections, then you can then connect ten devices to the Access Server, not 12.
Also please note that when you activate a fixed license key, it then becomes non-refundable as per our license agreement you accepted upon purchase and installation. Make sure to take every opportunity to test your Access Server prior to purchasing and activating a key.
Hi, we have a ProSafe Gigabit 8 Port Firewall FSV318Gv2, and I'm needing a license key for it. I tried to follow the link to buy one, but the link is broken (I'm assuming because it's an older model). It's been in use for several years at a remote location, and I'm needing to get into it, but I'm struggling to find a way/place to buy a license key for the software so I can get into it. Since the switch is at another location, I can't get to it to get a serial number or anything. Is there a way I can get a license key or anything for this to get the software working again?
Hi John, I appreciate you getting back to me! As I stated in my post, the switch itself is actually at a different location that I am about 45 minutes away, and it's up in a tower that's not easily accessible. Is there any way to buy a license for the software itself and not have to have the serial number? There's no telling when I would be able to physically get to the switch to find any kind of serial number.
It is a ProSafe Gigabit 8 Port Firewall FSV318Gv2. I literally just need a license key to the Netgear VPN Client so I can access the GUI of the firewall. Since the download of the VPN Client comes with a 30 day free trial, I was able to access the firewall, so I know this is what I'm needing. Without the VPN Client to open the tunnel to allow me to access the firewall, then I can't manage it like I need to. I've attached a picture of the license key screen the software is asking for to show you what I am referring too.
I understand that you need the license in order for you to view the serial number of the firewall. But the problem is, each VPN firewall has a corresponding VPN license key. We cannot just provide you with any VPN license key if you already have installed one. Unless you can provide the serial number of the firewall so that we can verify it on our system if it has one.
We recommend reading our comprehensive review of Avast SecureLine if you would like to learn more. In this article, we are going to discuss the Avast SecureLine VPN license and how some users are having their computers and data compromised when trying to download one.
This helps prevent the VPN software getting pirated or shared across more than one device for multiple users, as one of the downsides of Avast SecureLine VPN is that you must use a different license key for each device.
License key scams have been around since the dawn of the internet and though they have decreased alongside the use of traditional license keys in software products, they are still something to watch out for.
Avast SecureLine KeyGens are just as dangerous as the supposed free license downloads. Although there are some that may work, the majority of them are going to put you at risk of suffering from a computer virus.
AnyConnect Premium and AnyConnect Essential were used in old licensing models and are obsolete now. As per the new licensing model, AnyConnect Apex corresponds to AnyConnect Premium and AnyConnect Plus corresponds to AnyConnect Essential. AnyConnect Apex is not compatible with old licenses. So, if you enable Apex, the Premium would not be used, however, the license consumed would be in the form of Premium licenses. Essentials are disabled, as they are not compatible. The command to check if Apex license is enabled or disabled is debug menu license 23
In the above output, we have the new time-based license valid for 2 weeks (14 days). After completion of 14 days, AnyConnect Premium license would be overwritten with the permanent activation-key on the ASA.
7. Complete the profile setup and save the account information securely. The username is stored in the sudoers file. Do not use "openvpn" as a username so that the OS and the OpenVPN Access Server application account can be separate.
The license key is a block of symbols that needs to be copied from your mikrotik.com account, or from the email you received in, and then it can be pasted into the router. You can paste the key anywhere in the terminal, or by clicking "Paste key" in Winbox License menu. A reboot is required for the key to take effect.
Before the license purchase it is recommended to check if the software ID does not change on reboot. (Software ID may change on defective HDD, on HDD where RAID controllers are used but not properly configured etc.)
Level 2 was a transitional license from old legacy (pre 2.8) license format. These licenses are not available any more, if you have this kind of license, it will work, but to upgrade it - you will have to purchase a new license.
License levels described until now do not apply to Cloud Hosted Routers (CHRs). CHR is a RouterOS version intended for running as a virtual machine. It has its own 4 license levels as well as trial where you can test any of the paid license levels for 60 days.
Perpetual is a lifetime license (buy once, use forever). It is possible to transfer a perpetual license to another CHR instance. A running CHR instance will indicate the time when it has to access the account server to renew it's license. If the CHR instance will not be able to renew the license it will behave as if the trial period has ran out and will not allow an upgrade of RouterOS to a newer version.
After licensing a running trial system, you must manually run the /system license renew command from the CHR to make it active. Otherwise the system will not know you have licensed it in your account. If you do not do this before the system deadline time, the trial will end and you will have to do a complete fresh CHR installation, request a new trial and then license it with the license you had obtained. 2ff7e9595c
