Kong Gateway
2.6.x

PermalinkLicenses Examples

Note: The /licenses endpoint does not override standard license configuration.

The /licenses endpoint provides a way to configure your Kong Gateway without using environment variables or placing a plaintext file in your system directories. In a hybrid mode deployment, the Admin API /licenses endpoint also configures all data planes in the cluster, simplifying the configuration process.

PermalinkPrerequisites

Remove all standard license configurations from traditional deployments, control planes, and data planes.

If you deploy a license using environmental variables or a plaintext file, this configuration takes precedence over the /licenses endpoint and does not communicate any changes to the Admin API. If you try to use the /licenses endpoint while having a license configured in some other way, the new license will not apply.
