I inserted a registered community edition license and everything works fine, but log is now this way.

ValidationError: The ‘X-Forwarded-For’ header is set but the Express ‘trust proxy’ setting is false (default). This could indicate a misconfiguration which would prevent express-rate-limit from accurately identifying users. See Page Redirection for more information.

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

  • **n8n version: 1.66.0
  • **Database (default: SQLite): postgres
  • **n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): queue mode?
  • **Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): docker
  • Operating system: ubuntu 22.04 arm

Hi @Matheus_Carneiro

Are you using a proxy? Could be that you need to specify the number of reverse-proxies n8n is running behind.

See our docs on N8N_PROXY_HOPS here:

I’m having the same issue.

  • n8n version: 1.66.0
  • Database (default: SQLite): postgres
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main): queue mode
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app): docker
  • Operating system: Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS

When I try to reactivate the n8n community edition key show the message:

Activation failed

Activation key has expired
Activation key has expired

For now I added a environment variable
- N8N_LICENSE_AUTO_RENEW_ENABLED=false
