Activate Your License
Bind Navigator to your machine with a signed license issued by Deep-MedChem.
The license is bound to this machine's hardware fingerprint.
1. Print your machine fingerprint
machine-id reads your host's DMI identity directly, so it needs no image,
registry, or license — you can run it right after installing (even before
navigator pull):
navigator machine-id
# -> a long integer, e.g. 654225068548917543235408797167340708532. Send it to Deep-MedChem
Send that integer to Deep-MedChem. We return a license.json (which also carries
your database install key, so activating it enables database downloads — see
Databases).
3. Install and verify
This step uses the image, so navigator pull first:
navigator update-license /path/to/license.json
navigator verify-license
# -> ✅ Valid license (customer='<you>', expires=YYYY-MM-DD)License is hardware-bound
If you move to a different machine/VM, re-run navigator machine-id there and
request a new license — the old one will report a hardware-fingerprint
mismatch.
"No license found"
Install one with navigator update-license, or check that
DMC_NAV_LICENSE_FILE in .env points at it.
