License issue on v1.97.1: "Folder" feature missing after successful activation

Questions

Hi n8n Team,

I’m using n8n v1.97.1, deployed from the DigitalOcean 1-Click Marketplace. I’m trying to activate the free license for advanced features (Registered Community Edition).

I’m facing a confusing situation:

  1. When I first tried to activate the license key from my email, I received “wrong format” and then “key has already been used” errors.
  2. Following advice, I ran n8n license:clear inside the Docker container and restarted the instance.
  3. After the restart, I tried again and received a “License activated” success message.
  4. However, despite the success message, the “Folder” feature is still missing from my UI. The “+” menu only shows “Workflow”, “Credential”, and “Project (Enterprise)”.

My core question is:
For n8n version 1.97.1, is the “Folder” feature included in the free “Registered Community Edition” license? Or has this feature been moved into the “Project (Enterprise)” tier in this version?

I have attached screenshots showing my n8n version, the success message, and the UI menu. Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

hello @Fedorka_Oszust

You can create folders in the Personal Project scope, you can’t do it via the Overview section
