Licensing
Licensing connects your Box to its Potter subscription. It determines which product capabilities are available and keeps approved software updates flowing to your installation.
Activation
- Choose a plan. Your agreement identifies the commerce capabilities your organization can offer.
- Receive your license. Potter provides a Box license through the customer onboarding process.
- Activate your Box. Enter the license when prompted by the Box CLI. The CLI securely confirms your subscription and prepares the installation.
- Stay current. The Box CLI makes approved updates available while keeping access aligned with your active plan.
Protecting your license
- Treat the license as a private organization credential.
- Store it in your approved secrets manager; do not place it in source control, screenshots, tickets, or chat messages.
- Limit access to administrators responsible for installing and updating the Box.
- Contact Potter support immediately if the license may have been exposed.
Plan access
Your Box only enables capabilities included in its active plan. Upgrading a plan makes additional capabilities available without changing the merchant data already stored in the Box. See Plans & tiers for the available options.
License activation and renewal are handled by Potter and the Box CLI. No customer integration with Potter’s private licensing services is required.
