Licensing #

To use all the features of the ETL data_snake software, you need to buy a License which will allow you to receive a License Key. ETL data_snake allows you to add multiple License Keys and requires at least one valid License Key to work.

Each License Key is provided for a set period of time. License Key validation is based on the key itself as well as its Not before and Expires on dates. If there is no valid License Key present, the ETL data_snake software will not allow you to run Processes and any scheduled Processes will not run. The Modeler will work, but you will not be able to save changes to Modifiers. You will also be unable to import or run Modifiers.

If you have any valid License Keys and all of them will expire in less than 30 days (this can be configured), a message will be displayed on the Home Page.
