License environment variables
Environment variables to configure license settings in n8n, including options to hide the usage page, manage license activation and auto-renewal settings, and specify the server URL for license retrieval.
License environment variables
File-based configuration
You can add _FILE to individual variables to provide their configuration in a separate file. Refer to Keeping sensitive data in separate files for more details.
To enable certain licensed features, you must first activate your license. You can do this either through the UI or by setting environment variables. For more information, see license key.
| Variable | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
N8N_HIDE_USAGE_PAGE | boolean | false | Hide the usage and plans page in the app. |
N8N_LICENSE_ACTIVATION_KEY | String | '' | Activation key to initialize license. Not applicable if the n8n instance was already activated. |
N8N_LICENSE_AUTO_RENEW_ENABLED | Boolean | true | Enables (true) or disables (false) autorenewal for licenses. If disabled, you need to manually renew the license every 10 days by navigating to Settings > Usage and plan, and pressing F5. Failure to renew the license will disable all licensed features. |
N8N_LICENSE_DETACH_FLOATING_ON_SHUTDOWN | Boolean | true | Controls whether the instance releases floating entitlements back to the pool upon shutdown. Set to true to allow other instances to reuse the entitlements, or false to retain them. For production instances that must always keep their licensed features, set this to false. |
N8N_LICENSE_SERVER_URL | String | https://license.n8n.io/v1 | Server URL to retrieve license. |
N8N_LICENSE_TENANT_ID | Number | 1 | Tenant ID associated with the license. Only set this variable if explicitly instructed by n8n. |
