Licensing

IDLive Face uses software protection to protect ID R&D's intellectual property. The Server's image contains a license key, which will automatically be used on a container's startup.

License variants

IDLive Face Server is distributed in 2 variants: Eval (for evaluation) and Prod (for production). They differ in limitations the license imposes:

  • The evaluation variant will function for 90 days from the release date.

  • The production variant will function for 1 year from the release date.

The expiration date can be found in the key's file name. It is printed when you start the Server:

License /app/eval-license-2023-05-02.usermode.v2c installed

This key will expire on May 2, 2023. You can additionally query the expiration date via the REST API or monitor it via Prometheus.

Once the license has expired you either need to update to the new IDLive Face version or contact us for the new license key.

Evaluation variant before version 1.32

In version 1.31 and earlier the evaluation variant had different limitations:

  • The evaluation variant will function for 90 days from the release date, or for 60 days from the moment the license is installed (whichever date comes first).

Custom license

If you have a custom license key you need to configure the Server to use it.
