Licensbetalda funktioner

Self-hosting Bitwarden is free, however some features must be unlocked in your self-hosted instance with a registered license file. A license file can be obtained from the Bitwarden-hosted web app by either an account with a premium individual subscription or by the owner of an organization.

The steps are different when working with an individual license versus an organization license.

Follow these procedures when working with an individual license for a premium subscription. You'll be working in both the cloud web vault and your self-hosted web vault, and your account email addresses should match.

After you create an account on your self-hosted server, retrieve your license from the cloud web app:

1. Log in and select Settings → Subscription from the navigation.

2. Select the Download license button:

   

Next, log in to your self-hosted Bitwarden server to apply the downloaded license:

1. If you haven't already, verify your email address. You will need to have configured SMTP-related environment variables to do so.

2. Select Settings → Subscription from the navigation.

3. In the License file section, select the Browse... or Choose file button button and add the downloaded license file.

4. Select the Submit button to apply your premium license.

If for any reason you need to update your individual license file, for example when it expires:

1. Follow the steps to Retrieve your license again.

2. Follow the steps to Apply your license again, only this time you will see an Update license button rather than a button to browse for a new license.

Follow these procedures when working with an organization license for a Families or Enterprise organization. You must be an organization owner to retrieve, apply, and update a license.

Before starting an organization on your self-hosted server, retrieve your organization license from the cloud web app.

1. In the Bitwarden web app, open the Admin Console using the product switcher:

   

2. Navigate to Billing → Subscription.

3. Scroll down and select the Download license button.

4. When prompted, enter the installation ID that was used to install your self-hosted server and select Submit. If you don't know the installation ID off-hand, you can retrieve it from ./bwdata/env/global.override.env.

Applying your license in a self-hosted server is the means by which you'll create a self-hosted organization. From your self-hosted web vault:

1. Start a new organization by selecting the  Add organization button.

2. Select the Browse... or Choose file button, add the downloaded license file, and select Submit.

Organizations will need to update the license file used by their self-hosted server in several different scenarios, for example:

• To add user seats to a self-hosted organization. Self-hosted organizations' seat count is dictated by the license, so to add seats they must first be added to the associated cloud organization and then the license used by your self-hosted organization must be updated.

• To continue operation of the self-hosted organization when the license renews. You have 60 days, from the date of renewal, to update the license file to you self-hosted server before your self-hosted organization is disabled.

There are two methods for updating a self-hosted organization's license, however Families organizations may only update manually:
