License Management

  • Use an environment variable

To enable dbvr, load the license text you receive after purchase. The license text is sent by email and is also available in your personal account on dbeaver.com.

License configuration

dbvr provides multiple ways to use a license:

• Import the license into the workspace - see import-license.
• Use an external license file with the global license option.
• Set DBVR_LICENSE_CUSTOM_PATH for the dbvr process.
• Define the license file in dbvr.ini. Learn more

To view or remove imported licenses, use list-license and delete-license.

Tip: The approach you choose depends on your environment:

• Use import-license when you manage a persistent workspace.
• Use -license when working in portable mode, CI/CD pipelines, containers, or temporary environments.

Use an environment variable

Set DBVR_LICENSE_CUSTOM_PATH to the path of a valid, non-expired license file, and run the command:

DBVR_LICENSE_CUSTOM_PATH=/path/to/license.txt dbvr <command>

The -license option takes precedence over DBVR_LICENSE_CUSTOM_PATH, including when you set -license in dbvr.ini.
