Docker - Offline Licence Activation on Standard Edition

Hello,

I would like to activate a license for a Strandard Edition after a command line installation. The server is offline.
I've a 8 characters license to be used with the IGNITION_LICENSE_KEY keyword.
As the server is offline, the license would then not be activated.
I see that there is a IGNITION_ACTIVATION_TOKEN keyword that I suspect to be used in that case especially. Correct me if I'm wrong.
The thing is that I don't have and cannot find the Activation token.
Where can it be found ? (It is a Standard Edition, not a Maker Edition)

Thank you in advance for your help.

Note that offline activation is only available for license keys with six-digit codes.

You need to either get that server online, to use the 8-key, or go back to IA and get a 6-key.

I don't believe 6 digit codes can be used on docker. I've never used Ignition in docker for production so not 100% sure on this but I thought there was a way to set up an Ignition server that is both online and accessible to your offline docker instance that allows you to use the enterprise administration module to allow the docker instance to check out the license from it, and it essentially proxies the request to the internet.

Or even easier is make an exception in your firewall for the activation server to allow your 8 digit code to work.

But if this really needs to be offline then you'll be required to not use docker and run this inside a VM or on bare metal outside of nay contianerization.

Neither have I for production; however, I have used it for R&D and have, as such, at times activated 6-digit keys for testing. My docker sat on a Linux bare metal server with internet connectivity. I didn't have to do anything extra to get the docker instance to talk to the IA activation server.

You make a good point on the 8-digits though, I believe it is possible to essentially host a "license server" so if you had:

Licenser server (internet facing) -> LAN -> Docker instance (offline)

... then that should work... I think...

Sounds like a call to IA sales engineering is in order.
