license

The license clause is used to read the license configuration parameters.

The license block is optional. When omitted, Radiator automatically determines the license directory:

• Directory-mode configuration (-c <dir>): uses <config_dir>/licenses/ as the license directory. This is where the Management API deploys license files, so no explicit license block is needed and none should be added.
• Single-file configuration (-c <file>): falls back to a licenses/ directory relative to the working directory. In a standard installation this is /var/lib/radiator/licenses.

If no valid licenses are found, Radiator logs a warning at startup. The Management UI shows a warning on the dashboard with a link to Getting a Radiator License.

Note: When using directory-mode configuration, do not add a license block to your configuration files. The license directory is managed automatically and modifying it will interfere with license deployment via the Management API.

License configuration clause example:

license {
    # use a license directory to look for licenses
    directory "/var/lib/radiator/licenses";
}
