Install: Rustdesk Server Pro License Key

Upgrading to the RustDesk Server Pro allows you to unlock advanced features like centralized management, OIDC integration, and a custom client generator. Activating your license is a straightforward process handled entirely through the web console. 1. Access the Web Console

Once you have installed the RustDesk Server Pro via Docker or the Install Script, you must log in to the administrative interface: URL: http://:21114 Default Username: admin Default Password: test1234

Security Tip: Change the default admin password immediately after your first login via Settings > Account. 2. Enter Your License Key

The license key you received via email after purchasing from the official pricing page is tied to your hbbs (ID server) instance. Navigate to the Settings menu on the left-hand sidebar. Select the License submenu. Click Edit. rustdesk server pro license key install

Paste your license code into the field and click OK to activate. 3. Verification and Management

Status Check: Your license should now show as active. If you ever upgrade your plan (e.g., adding more concurrent connections), simply return to this menu, click Edit, and then OK to refresh the status.

Migration: If you need to move your server to a new machine, you must first "unbind" the old server through the Self-Service License Portal before the key can be used on a new IP address. 4. Client Configuration (Public Key vs. License Key) Upgrading to the RustDesk Server Pro allows you

It is important to distinguish between your License Key and your Public Key:

License Key: Entered only once on the server console to enable Pro features.

Public Key: Found in the id_ed25519.pub file or displayed on the Pro web console. This must be entered into each RustDesk Client under Settings > Network to ensure an encrypted connection to your private server.

Important Notes

• One license per server – A Pro license activates one server instance.
• No internet required after activation – The server only needs to verify the license once.
• Self-hosted only – Pro licenses are for self-hosted servers, not the public RustDesk cloud.
• Updates – Keep your server updated. Pro features require the latest version.

Method 1: Via Web UI (Easiest)

1. In the web console (port 21114), locate the License or Activation tab.
2. Paste your license key in the format: RUSTDESK-PRO-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
3. Click Activate.
4. A success message will appear, and the Pro features (Address Book, RBAC, etc.) will unlock.

2. Locate the Configuration File

The license key is stored in the same configuration file as your other server settings (e.g., key for encrypted connection).

| Installation Method | Config File Path | |---------------------|------------------| | Linux (systemd) | /etc/rustdesk-server-pro/config.toml | | Docker | Mounted volume path (e.g., ./volumes/rustdesk-pro/config.toml) | | Windows (exe) | C:\Program Files\RustDesk Server Pro\config.toml |

If the file doesn't exist, create it with basic settings:

[server]
license = "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE"

Method A – Using the .lic file

Place the license file in the working directory (usually where hbbs and hbbr binaries are located).

sudo cp /path/to/your/license.lic /opt/rustdesk/
