6.2. Nubus license

New in version 1.9.0: A Helm Chart enables operators to add a license. Nubus for Kubernetes enforces license restrictions and behaves the same as the UCS appliance.

A valid license for Nubus for Kubernetes is essential to ensure that your organization fully benefits from a Nubus subscription contract with Univention. Only an active subscription provides access to the Enterprise Support Team, all future updates of Nubus for Kubernetes, the use of Univention trademarks and binary artifacts in commercial projects, and product warranties offered by Univention.

Nubus for Kubernetes comes with the default Core Edition license. To receive support services, your Nubus for Kubernetes installation requires a license obtained through an enterprise subscription.

The license serves as proof of your subscription contract with Univention and represents the organization operating your Nubus for Kubernetes installation. Upon subscribing, you receive a license file in LDIF format, which includes details from your subscription contract, such as the number of user accounts covered. Nubus enforces these limitations, for example, by restricting functionality in the Management UI web-based administration when certain LDAP object types exceed the specified limits.

This section explains how to add a license to Nubus for Kubernetes, update an existing one, or overwrite it. How to obtain a license is beyond the scope of this documentation.
