Requesting Mendix license key

0
I am building Mendix application to interface among Teamcenter and other external systems.Before making production system, I need to make validation tests on test environment. To do this, I need to get Mendix license key for the validation test environment before asking the key for production environment. As you know, without the licence key, Mendix application stops in 2 to 4 hours so that we development team and users are not able to run business scinario tests.Is this possible to get Mendix license key for only validation test environment?

Hi,


Yes, it is possible, but in Mendix licensing the key is typically issued per node/environment, not specifically “for production only”.

If you want to run a validation or test environment continuously, you need to request a separate licensed node for that environment. Many teams do this when they have multiple environments such as Dev, Test, Acceptance, and Production. Each node gets its own license key.

Without a license key, the runtime behaves exactly as you described — it stops after a few hours because it is running in unlicensed mode.

What is usually done in this situation:

  1. Request a new node for the validation/test environment.
  2. Once the node is approved, Mendix will provide a license key for that node.
  3. Apply that key in the runtime settings of the environment.

If you are working with an existing Mendix subscription, your organization’s Mendix administrator or account manager can typically create additional nodes for non-production environments.

If you are unsure whether your subscription allows additional nodes, the safest approach is to contact Mendix Support or your Mendix account representative. They can confirm whether a separate license for a validation/test environment can be issued under your current agreement.

Have a lovely day Makoto, :)


You may want to consider requesting a non-production license for your validation environment. If the validation environment needs to run continuously for testing business scenarios, there are a couple of approaches that are commonly used.


One option could be to request a separate node or environment through the Mendix Portal, obtain a license key for that environment, and apply the license to your validation/test setup.


Alternatively, it might be helpful to contact Mendix Support and ask whether it is possible to obtain a non-production environment license specifically for validation or testing purposes.


They can clarify what licensing options are available for your setup.


If this resolves your issue, please mark the answer as accepted so it can help others in the community as well.
