BattaniFree edition, trial and licensing
Understand the difference between free use without a time limit and the separate 30-day paid-edition evaluation.
What the free edition includes
You can use Battani without a license key within the free-edition limits. This use is not tied to a 30-day trial period.
- 1 active user and 1 active Kubernetes cluster.
- No new teams can be created.
- At most 1 active connection for each service type: SQL, Redis, RabbitMQ and Elasticsearch.
- At most 3 active data-service connections in total. For example, 1 SQL + 1 Redis + 1 RabbitMQ uses the full quota.
30-day trial and paid licenses
A 30-day trial is also offered to evaluate broader usage needs. It does not replace the free edition. The user, cluster and team limits of a trial or paid license follow the issued license.
An active paid license has no data-service connection quota. Documenting a feature does not mean every plan and permission level grants identical access; operation permissions and target-system requirements still apply.
Activate a license
Licenses are bound to the installation identity. Online validation and offline licenses have different network requirements; use an offline license for an air-gapped environment.
- Check your company name and Installation ID under Settings → License.
- Use this installation identity when requesting a trial or paid license.
- Enter the supplied license key in the activation field and verify its validity period and limits.
When a paid license ends
When there is no valid paid license, the free-edition limits apply. If active users or clusters exceed those limits, a system administrator can activate a license or reduce usage.
Connections that exceed the data-service quota are not deleted. The oldest connections that fit the quota can be opened, and the others remain manageable. The License page shows usage and exceeded limits.
