There isn't a public API for that. ---

On Ignition 8 gateway home page go to Config | Licensing and you'll find any details there. ---

Hi, thanks for reply. There is another way to get that value on a label on a perspective page? ---

> [@tecnoeletronic](#): > > have the license code on a perspective page component That would be extremely unwise. Like publishing your phone's passcode in your social media profiles. Your gateway's license key is a _ **key** _. Treat it accordingly. ---

> [@tecnoeletronic](#): > > i would like to have the license code on a perspective page component Not only is this unwise, but it makes me wonder why? Why would any user who doesn’t have access to the gateway config need this? What problem are you really trying to solve? ---

> That would be extremely unwise. So why in the gateway page there is a PAGE that show the ACTIVE license code? If i have rights to see license in that page why i cannot see it in another page?!? > Like publishing your phone's passcode in your social media profiles Same as before. Noone is publishing the License code on a Social media. > Why would any user who doesn’t have access to the gateway config need this? > What problem are you really trying to solve? I would like to show the License code in a custom page (Branding Customization) for documentary evidences. So, i understand that is not possible and for me is enough. ---

Gateway security is distinct from Perspective security. Totally bogus equivalence. > [@tecnoeletronic](#): > > page (Branding Customization) for documentary evidences I don't get this at all. Sorry. ---

Is there any update on getting license key from gateway? I see that 8-digit licenses have a gateway system tag you can read with all the info about the license, but 6-digits don't get stored anywhere (seemingly to me) that I can get to programmatically. Recently had a SEV2 when all of our servers went down due to Ignition activation servers breaking. We are trying to build a license dashboard to help manage 100s of ignition servers for our system.
