License required

A license file (certeasy.lic) is required to run Certeasy, including on the Free plan. Registration takes 30 seconds and delivers the file by email.

Managed server quota is counted as the number of distinct ACME accounts with at least one active (non-expired, non-revoked) certificate. Retries and re-issuances from the same ACME account do not count. An account with no active certificate (failed setup, tests) does not consume quota.

Plan quotas (managed server count, number of authorities, allowed database driver) are enforced by the binary at startup and on every new order. Renewals continue to work even when the configuration exceeds the plan, so existing clients are never interrupted by a downgrade. See the License enforcement page for the full behaviour.

Evaluation period​

All paid plans include a 6-month free trial — sign up, no card required, no automatic charge. At the end, you choose to subscribe for a year or simply stop.

If you subscribe, a new license file is sent to your email. Replace the existing certeasy.lic on your server: no reinstallation, no configuration change. Your license is extended by one year from the trial expiry date, not from the payment date.

On connected installations, auto-renewal can be configured so the binary fetches and replaces the file itself. On air-gapped servers, the manual file replacement is the only step required.

Start your free trial on the official site.
