Hello, I’m having a problem with my license key provided by the community version of n8n on a VPS hostinger. I checked several times that it wasn’t a typing or copy-pasting error, but there is no error, yet n8n tells me: (Activation failed Activation key is in the wrong format). What can we do?
I have the same problem. Were you able to solve it?
When activating n8n Community Edition (CE), if you receive an activation key from the official email and enter it directly into the activation input field, you will usually see: Activation key is in the wrong format. In the email, however, there is a hidden button. If you click that hidden button, it will redirect you to a URL like http://localhost:5678/settings/usage?key=xxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx to activate automatically. If your n8n is deployed on a server or Docker, simply replace localhost in the link with your server address, and the activation will succeed.
