Activation Key Error – Key Already Used on This Instance (n8n v1.108.2)

[Ansh_wysmcbel]

Hi Team,

I’m facing an issue while trying to activate my n8n instance.

When I enter the activation key, I receive the following error message:

“Activation failed – Activation key has already been used on this instance.”

It seems that the license key has already been bound to the instance, and I am unable to proceed further.

Here is the detail about my setup:

• n8n version: Version 1.108.2

I would kindly request your assistance in resetting or revalidating my license key so that I can continue using n8n without disruption.

Please let me know if you need any additional information from my side.

Thank you in advance for your support.

Hey there!

Is this the activation key you got for free in your email inbox? If so, this key only unlocks the following features and is not a key for the full paid version of n8n:

• Explore Features: Take a look the features you’ve unlocked, Workflow history, Debug in editor, Folders and custom execution search.

Or is it supposed to unlock more that that and maybe it worked up until now? Would be great if you can share more details so I can help

Mine is the key that I got for free. Originally I had installed it on the localhost server. I then moved to the self-hosted Hostinger server. I tried to input this and the other keys that n8n sent me. It either says:
Activation key has already been used on this instance
or that it is not in the correct format.
How can I reset this or any other solutions?
