Licence request failed 403 on community version running on localhost (http)

Questions

Hello everyone !

I have juste started n8n with the command “npx n8n”.
The app is started on http://localhost:5678
When I try to have the free licence, I get the error : Failed to register community edition: Request failed with status code 403
My browser cache is clean, I don’t have VPN activated.
Could it be because I don’t use https ? On that case, how can I activate https using npx ?

Thanks for your help !

That could be the case. You can use mkcert in order to generate a locally-trusted certificate.

More info here: GitHub - FiloSottile/mkcert: A simple zero-config tool to make locally trusted development certificates with any names you'd like.

Thanks for your answer !

Can n8n send Licence to an app hosted on localhost ?

Ok, if I start n8n in –tunnel mode, it works. (getting the mail for the licence number works, but applying the licence number don’t. I have to go back to localhost to apply the licence number).

Tks for your time !

Hey folks.

Sorry for the disruption. Some of our request from self-hosted users were being incorrectly blocked for a period of time. If you tried to sign up for the community registered license then you may have seen the 403 (forbidden) error.

You shouldn’t need to use the tunnel command any more but let us know if you’re still seeing issues. :folded_hands:

Hey @marclittlemore

I’m still experiencing the same issue. I have n8n running on a Proxmox server and I’m still getting the 403 Forbidden error when I try to request an activation key.

The instance is running on http://192.168.178.108:5678:5678

Could there be another reason for this error, or is there a step I might be missing in my setup? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
