Box IO

Self-hosted IoT for Arduino and ESP32.

License

Each Docker server needs a license before it will show pin values. A paid license lasts one year and costs $30. A trial lasts 30 days. Auto-renew charges another $30 each year when you leave that option on.

Create an account

Create an account or sign in. The account page lists your licenses, the trial button, and the Square checkout.

Install on a Docker server that can reach the internet

  1. Open the Box IO dashboard and go to License.
  2. Sign in with this box-io.com account. The server stores a token and uses it for later checks.
  3. Choose a license and install it. The dashboard starts showing pin data.

One server at a time

Checking out a license locks it to that Docker server. Another server cannot install it while the checkout stands.

An admin on that server opens License and chooses Return license. The server must be able to reach this site. That clears the checkout, and pin data on that server stops. You can also release the install from your account page.

If a purchased license stays checked out and that server cannot return it, the site owner can clear the checkout from the account page. The server drops the license the next time it checks in. A copy that never checks in keeps working until the license expires.

Install with no internet on the Docker server

  1. On this site, download the license file from your account.
  2. On the Docker License page, upload that file.
  3. Copy the checkout code back to your account and submit it. That marks the license as checked out.
  4. Copy the confirmation code onto the Docker license page. The server then shows pin data.
