Chevereto customers can now protect their licenses with license key re-generation. Go to license and try for yourself, regenerate your license keys on-the-fly.

# Why

The Chevereto license is like a password as it grants access to download the software using the API. For example, to build the docker image or use the VPS provisioning the license key is essential to download the software.

Mishandling this key could lead to unintended consequences, such as unauthorized access and potential license bans due to misuse.

# Regenerating keys

Head over to license and click on the "Regenerate license key" button. Instantly the license key will expire and a new one will be provided.

This not only adds an extra layer of security but also safeguards your keys from potential misuse. The change is immediate, rendering the old license key inactive while providing you with a new, secure key on-the-fly.

Consider it a seamless way to ensure the ongoing security of your Chevereto keys without any hassle.

# How it works?

A Chevereto license key is made from two components: An id and a code. It has the following shape.

asdf:d562b55144a834adfaba51f71621f8a63f66a8cf2e77cc2d
<license_id>:<license_code>

The license_id is immutable, won't change. What changes with this process is the license_code.
