Camunda 8 Self-Managed only

Installations of Camunda 8 Self-Managed which require a license can provide their license key to the components as an environment variable:

For Helm installations, license keys can be configured globally in your values.yaml file. See the Helm installation documentation for more details.

note

Camunda 8 components without a valid license may display Non-Production License in the navigation bar and issue warnings in the logs. These warnings have no impact on startup or functionality, with the exception that Web Modeler has a limitation of five users. To obtain a license, visit the Camunda Enterprise page.
