Get a Trial License
In this section, we are going to show you how you can get a 30 days trial license for KubeDB Enterprise edition. You can get a license for your Kubernetes cluster by going through the following steps:
At first, go to AppsCode License Server and fill up the form. It will ask for your Name, Email, the product you want to install, and your cluster ID (UID of the kube-system namespace).
Provide your name and email address. You must provide your work email address.
Then, select KubeDB Enterprise Edition in the product field.
Now, provide your cluster ID. You can get your cluster ID easily by running the following command:
kubectl get ns kube-system -o=jsonpath='{.metadata.uid}'
Then, you have to agree with the terms and conditions. We recommend reading it before checking the box.
Now, you can submit the form. After you submit the form, the AppsCode License server will send an email to the provided email address with a link to your license file.
Navigate to the provided link and save the license into a file. Here, we save the license to a license.txt file.
Here is a screenshot of the license form.

You can create licenses for as many clusters as you want. You can upgrade your license any time without re-installing KubeDB by following the upgrading guide from here.
KubeDB licensing process has been designed to work with CI/CD workflow. You can automatically obtain a license from your CI/CD pipeline by following the guide from here.

Verify installation
To check if KubeDB operator pods have started, run the following command:
$ watch kubectl get pods --all-namespaces -l "app.kubernetes.io/instance=kubedb"NAMESPACE NAME READY STATUS RESTARTS AGE
kube-system kubedb-kubedb-autoscaler-59d8fcddb8-nqxbn 1/1 Running 0 48s
kube-system kubedb-kubedb-community-7f4dc7c49c-l6ddf 1/1 Running 0 48s
kube-system kubedb-kubedb-enterprise-56f5c9657d-wc2tl 1/1 Running 0 48s
Once the operator pod is running, you can cancel the above command by typing Ctrl+C.
Now, to confirm CRD groups have been registered by the operator, run the following command:
$ kubectl get crd -l app.kubernetes.io/name=kubedb
