License activation failed on Community Edition

Questions

Hi, can anyone help me get my n8n instance license key to activate?

The problem started when I noticed a bunch of these error messages in my Docker container logs:

[license SDK] cert is invalid because tenant ID does not match: (autorenewalsEnabled: true, expiredAt: …, issuedAt: …)

I tried restarting the instance but it didn’t help. I ran n8n license:clearand tried reactivating with my key. That gave these errors:

[license SDK] license activation failed: Invalid URL
Failed to activate license: Invalid URL
400 Failed to activate license: Invalid URL

Lastly, I request a new license key and tried that but I get the same errors.

Can anyone help?

Hey @chewme ,

Are your env variables set correctly ?

Hey, thanks for replying. This actually made me have a go at deploying on Hetzner which I’d been wanting to do for a while anyway so I haven’t investigated. I plan still to develop locally so may revisit this thread in the future.
