nb license activate --env app1 --key-file ./license.txt
nb license activate --env app1 --json --key-file ./license.txt

      Notes

      When run interactively, the CLI first shows the current instance Hostname and Instance ID, then prompts you to paste the license key directly or enter a key file path. Use that information to confirm the license is being bound to the correct instance.

      After activation succeeds, restart the app so the license and commercial plugin state actually takes effect. The CLI automatically synchronizes the commercial plugins allowed by the current license before restarting:

      nb app restart

      If you explicitly pass --env and it differs from the current env, the CLI asks for confirmation first. In non-interactive terminals or AI agent sessions, add --yes yourself or run nb env use <name> first and try again.
