Getting Started

License Activation

To activate your BoxLang+ or BoxLang++ subscription and enable enterprise features:

// Activate your license using the provided BIF
boxlangLicenseActivate(
    email = "[email protected]",
    licenseKey = "your-license-key",
    serverType = "server" // or "cloud"
);

Refreshing License Token

To refresh your license token and ensure continued access to enterprise features:

// Refresh the current license token
refreshResult = boxlangLicenseRefresh();
writeOutput( "License refreshed successfully" );
writeOutput( "Updated license info: " & serializeJSON( refreshResult ) );

This function will attempt to refresh your existing license token using the stored refresh token. It's useful for:

• Extending license validity before expiration
• Updating license information after subscription changes
• Ensuring continued access to enterprise features

Checking License Status

You can programmatically check your license status and available features:

// Get current license information
licenseInfo = boxlangLicenseInfo();
writeOutput( "License Status: " & licenseInfo.status );
writeOutput( "Trial Mode: " & licenseInfo.isTrialMode );
