Tutorial: Purchase and Activate an Access Server Subscription License (Admin Web UI)⁠

Overview⁠

Access Server subscription licenses determine how many simultaneous VPN connections your server can support. You can purchase a subscription for the number of connections you need and activate it from the Admin Web UI.

This tutorial shows you how to purchase and activate an Access Server subscription license key.

Prerequisites⁠

An installed Access Server.
An OpenVPN.net account on the Access Server Hub.
Admin Web UI access.

Sign in to the Access Server Hub or create an account.
Select Subscriptions.
- Current keys display here if you have any.
Select the option to purchase or create a subscription.
Choose the number of VPN connections and billing option appropriate for your deployment.
Complete the subscription setup.
Copy the activation key.

If you already have an available Access Server subscription, copy its activation key instead.

How you access activation depends on your deployment.

From the Admin Web UI⁠

For an existing installation or a deployment where the Admin Web UI is already accessible:

Sign in to the Admin Web UI.
- If you haven't installed Access Server, refer to the quick start guides in the installation topic.
- To navigate to your Admin Web UI, open a web browser and enter your server's IP address or DNS address as the URL, with /admin at the end. For example, https://192.0.2.22/admin.
Select Activation.
Select Activate License Key.
Paste the activation key.
Select Activate License Key.

On a new BYOL deployment that requires activation⁠

If the Activate your Access Server page appears immediately after you accept the license agreement:

Paste your activation key into the activation field.
Select Activate.
Wait for Access Server to validate the key.
- After successful activation, Access Server replaces the zero-connection placeholder subscription with the activated subscription and updates the available VPN connection limit.
- You can then continue into the Admin Web UI.
