How the trial works
The 14-day period is counted from the first time Sentinel initialises in a given Node-RED instance. The clock starts on first startup and runs regardless of how frequently the instance is used. During the trial, every feature is fully available with no restrictions.After the trial expires
Threat blocking continues after the trial expires. Sentinel does not turn off — it keeps intercepting and blocking attacks as normal. Only certain management features require a license key once the trial period ends.
- Sentinel remains active and continues blocking threats
- Certain management features — such as the Permissions UI — require a valid license key to use
Obtaining a license
To continue using management features after the trial, configure a license key insettings.js or via the NRG_SENTINEL_LICENSE environment variable. See Configuring a license key for instructions.
