License verification
To verify that the license was successfully installed, confirm that the expriry date on the Enterprise --> Licenses page displays a date one year later.
How to view your license key
You can view the list of licenses that are applied to your organization on either the Admin interface, on the Enterprise -> Licenses page, or in the Customer portal, under your organization's page.
About the license expiry date
The Enterprise -> Licenses page shows your current licenses' Cumulative license expiry. Expiry date calculation works by verifying the individual expiry date for all valid licenses and then picking the lowest expiry date. After the date of the earliest expiring license, all calculations will be updated without that license, by selecting the next earliest date.
License violation notifications
The following events occur when a license expeires and is not renewed within two weeks.
-
After 2 weeks of the expiry date administrators see a warning banner on the Admin interface
-
After another 2 weeks, users get a warning banner
-
After another 2 weeks, the authentik Enterprise instance becomes “read-only”
About users and licenses
License usage is calculated based on total user counts and log-in data data that authentik regularly captures. This data is checked against all valid licenses, and the sum total of all users.
-
The default user count is calculated based on actual users assigned to the organization.
-
The external user count is calculated based on how many external users were active (i.e. logged in) since the start of the current month.
:::info An internal user is typically a team member, such as company employees, who gets access to the full Enterprise feature set. An external user might be an external consultant or a B2C customer who logged onto your website to shop. These users don't get access to enterprise features. :::
Upgrade the number of users in a license
There are two ways to update the number of users in a license.
You can either purchase a new license and enter it in the same authentik instance as the other one, in which case the total number of users in all your licenses is used to calculate the maximum number of users. However, this means that your licensing renewals will not happen at the same date.
The second way is to open a support ticket with us and we'll upgrade the number of users in your license. You'll be charged the prorated amount for the remaining time until the next license renewal.
Manage Billing
Billing is based on each individual organization.
-
To manage your billing, go to the Customer portal and click "My organizations" in the top menu bar.
-
Select the organization for which you want to manage bulling.
The organization detail page displays.
-
Click Manage Billing in the top left of the page.

- update your account information (address, name, phone number, and tax ID)
- add a payment method
