Syntax

Parameters

ALIAS

Required

The alias of the AIStor deployment.

--airgap

Optional

Use in environments where the client machine running the AIStor Client does not have network access to SUBNET (for example, airgapped, firewalled, or similar configuration) to display instructions for how to register the deployment with SUBNET.

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

Output

The command output varies depending on the license status.

Valid license

When a valid, unexpired license is installed, the command displays:

  • License expiration date
  • Organization information
  • Deployment details
  • SUBNET account information

Expired license

When an expired license is installed, the command displays the license information with the expiry date highlighted in red.

Version changed
Red highlighting for expired licenses and improved error messages were added in AIStor Client RELEASE.2025-12-19T20-11-44Z.

The red highlighting indicates the deployment is operating in one of the following states:

  • Grace period - Full functionality maintained, but renewal recommended
  • Safe mode - Read-only access, write operations blocked

For more information about license states, see License expiration.

To renew an expired license, use mc license update.

No license installed

When no license is installed, the command displays an error message:

License is not installed. Please run 'mc license update <alias>' to install a license.

To install a license, use mc license register to register the deployment with SUBNET, or use mc license update to retrieve the latest license from SUBNET or apply a license file.
