You don’t need a license to access the Community version of Conduktor. The Community plan allows you to manage and monitor any number of Kafka clusters but provides only limited access to powerful Conduktor features.The unlicensed Conduktor Gateway version has a 14-day trial and will stop working when that period ends. Contact us to extend your trial or find out about licensing options.

​
Apply your license

We recommend applying your license to the environment variables. Alternatively, you can add it to your YAML config file.
