Update License Key

Once you receive your license key, add it to your deployment config and restart the relevant services. The steps differ slightly depending on whether you're running Helm or Docker.

Helm Deployment

Open your nected-values.yaml file and add the following under your environment variables:

VIDHAAN_PRE_SHARED_KEY: "xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx"

Then apply the updated values and restart the pods:

helm upgrade -i nected nected/nected -f values/nected-values.yaml

Wait for the upgrade to complete. You can check pod redeployment using kubectl get pods — the pods for nected-nalanda, nected-vidhaan-router, and nected-vidhaan-executer should all get restarted before you proceed.

Docker Deployment

You'll need to update two files: nectedconfig/nalanda.env and nectedconfig/vidhaan.env. Add this line to both:

VIDHAAN_PRE_SHARED_KEY: "xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxx"

Then bring the containers down and back up:

docker compose down
docker compose up -d

Verifying Activation

Once the containers are back up, open your browser and go to the app dashboard. Log in to your Nected dashboard and check your plan status from the bottom of the left navigation panel. Your current plan name and expiry date will be visible there.

If it still shows "License invalid" or "Trial mode," the usual culprits are a typo in the key or the containers not having fully restarted. Double-check the key in both .env files and then run:

docker compose down && docker compose up -d

Give it a minute after the containers are up, then reload the page.
