Hi Edmund welcome to n8n community :n8n:

You can register using the same email address as your previous instance, and it’s sent from an n8n mailing system, so there shouldn’t be any issues as long as you can receive those emails.

The server that I deploy on is only works on Local Networks.
So when I try to actiavte the key, it will show:

Activation failed

Failed to activate license: Connection Error: The operation was aborted due to timeout
Failed to activate license: Connection Error: The operation was aborted due to timeout

The server itself, can’t connect to public internet

Oh you are not using tunnel? Try to active cloudflare tunnel if you just need to active the lisence, you can add this image with the same network to make connection and then config it from cloudflare dashboard

services:
  cloudflare-tunnel:
    image: cloudflare/cloudflared:latest
    hostname: cloudflare-tunnel
    command: tunnel run
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
    environment:
      - "TUNNEL_TOKEN=YOURCLOUDFLARETOKEN"
    networks:
      - cf_tunnel
    healthcheck:
      test: ["CMD", "cloudflared", "--version"]
      interval: 30s
      timeout: 10s
      retries: 3
      start_period: 10s

networks:
  cf_tunnel:
    external: true

Do you know which url do I need to get access to?
Since my situation is like there are weird firewall, so most of time it was like being used as local network only.

are you implement cf tunnel in the same network to your n8n service?
You can specify like this if it on same network, just use the service name and the expose port

No, I think I can’t use cf on this server.
I want to know in order to get verification, which url or which address should I open connection to. Since in this server, majority of the public address ip is getting block.

Also, are there a way for me to unlock this locally with the key?
