mc license register replaces the mc support register command.

Description

The mc license register command connects your deployment with your MinIO SUBNET account.

After registration, you can upload deployment health reports directly to SUBNET using the mc support diag command.

Examples

mc license register minio1

If not already registered, a prompt asks for SUBNET credentials for the deployment.

Register a Deployment with a Different Deployment Name

mc license register minio2 --name second-deployment

Register a Deployment Without Direct Internet Access

Register a MinIO deployment at alias minio3 on SUBNET that does not have direct Internet access due to a firewall, airgap, or the like.

mc license register minio3 --airgap

Syntax

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] license register       \
                         ALIAS          \
                         [--name value] \
                         [--airgap]

Parameters

ALIAS: Required
The alias of the MinIO deployment.

--name

Optional

Specify a name other than the alias to associate to the MinIO deployment in SUBNET.

Use --name <value> replacing <value> with the name you want to use for the deployment on SUBNET.

--airgap

Optional

Use in environments without network access to SUBNET (for example, airgapped, firewalled, or similar configuration).

For instructions, see the airgap example.

If the deployment is airgapped, but the local device where you are using the minio client has network access, you do not need to use the --airgap flag.

Global Flags
