Starting March 31st, 2024, access to the StreamNative Pulsar distribution will require a valid StreamNative subscription. As a result, StreamNative Pulsar images such as streamnative/private-cloud, streamnative/sn-platform and streamnative/sn-platform-slim will require a license key to run; otherwise, the component will fail to start.
This document demonstrates how to upgrade to configure license on the StreamNative Platform.

​
Import license

If you do not have any license, you can contact StreamNative to apply for a free trial. When you have a license in hand, you can import it through: 
cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  labels:
    cloud.streamnative.io/type: "license"
  name: sn-license
  namespace: "the Kubernetes namespace you will install the StreamNative Pulsar Cluster"
type: Opaque
stringData:
  license: "Your license token"
EOF

​
Configure the license Secret on StreamNative Platform

The license Secret needs to be configured on the broker.extraSecretRefs field: 
broker:
  extraSecretRefs:
  - mountPath: /mnt/sn-license
    secretName: "sn-license"
After updating configuration, run the helm upgrade to update your StreamNative Platform.
