License reset request — Lifetime Community Plan key

Hi,
I have a Lifetime Community Plan license key (ending in a62c0) and my local instance database was deleted.
Now I get the error “Activation key has already been used on this instance”.

Could you please reset the activation for my key so I can re-use it on my local Docker install?

Thanks!

have you already checked in your settings tab > usage and plan to see if you now have “# of unlimited” workflows? bc if you see that then its all setup properly

Hey! Since your database got wiped, N8n sees this as a “new” instance even though it’s the same Docker install. You’ll need to reach out to N8n support directly—they can reset the activation on their end. Just email them at [email protected] with your license key and explain the situation. They’re usually pretty quick about handling these cases. Should have you back up and running soon!

Hey @Aleksandar_Veselinov !

docker exec -u node -it YOUT-CONTAINER-NAME n8n license:clear

This will start a new image and will clear the license, after you can enter again you key.

Assuming you are on self-hosted since you mentioned Docker.

Cheers!
