The Unimus License Key pays for the "zero-touch" experience. You are not paying for the software; you are paying for the 24/7 support, regular updates (every 2 weeks), and the GUI that does not require YAML coding. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) Q1: Can I use one Unimus License Key on two separate servers? A: No. One key = one active instance. However, if you run a High Availability (HA) cluster , you need a Core or Enterprise key, and both nodes share the same license. Q2: What happens if my license expires while I’m on vacation? A: Unimus will continue to run in "grace mode" for 30 days. After that, the UI becomes read-only. No data is deleted, but automated backups stop. You can resume by entering a valid key. Q3: Does the license key ever change during automatic software updates? A: No. Unimus updates (e.g., v2.4.0 to v2.5.0) preserve your license key in the database. You never need to re-enter it unless you perform a clean OS install. Q4: I lost my license key email. How do I retrieve it? A: Go to the Unimus License Portal , click "Forgot License Key", enter your purchase email. A recovery link is sent instantly. Q5: Is there a lifetime, perpetual Unimus license? A: No. Unimus shifted to a subscription model in 2020. All keys are time-based (1-year or 3-year). Once the subscription ends, the key expires. Conclusion The Unimus License Key is your gateway to enterprise-grade network automation. Whether you start with a 30-day trial to test backups on 500 devices or purchase a Professional 500-key for your data center, the activation process is straightforward.
