Issues with license key (self-hosted)

Hi!
I am using self-hosted n8n Community Edition (version 1.122.5).
I requested a free Community Edition license key from the “Usage and plan” page.

The request seems to be accepted: I see the “Your license key is being generated” notification and in the browser Network tab the community-registered request returns HTTP 200 with the following

JSON:{
“data”: {
“title”: “Your license key is being generated!”,
“text”: “We’ve got your request, and it’s currently being processed. Your license will be generated soon and sent to m***ov@gmail.com.”
}
}

Another request returns {"status":"Ok"}.

However, I do not receive any email with the license key on this address (also checked Spam/Promotions folders

Could you please check on your side whether the license email is actually being sent and/or manually send me the license key for this email address?

Hi everyone,

I’m having a similar issue but with a twist. I actually did receive the license key via email.

The problem is: when I enter the license key, the system says it’s OK/accepted, but it doesn’t actually activate. Nothing changes, the features remain locked.

I also ran the connectivity test as suggested:

  • curl https://api.n8n.io → Works fine, server responds

  • curl https://license.n8n.io → Returns {"code":404,"message":"not found"}

So it seems like the license server endpoint is returning a 404, which might explain why the activation isn’t completing even though the key is accepted.

Is anyone else experiencing this? Is the license server currently down?

Environment:

  • n8n version: 1.122.5

  • Self-hosted on Ubuntu 20.04
