I am a bit confused. First I had downloaded and installed the enterprise edition and reconiced my error in the system-console.

Then I downloaded the Opensource edition (seems to be the same tar ball however) and in the system.console-\>editions it still claims to be Enterprise Edition"

So, how can I use this software without violate a Enterprise Edition af upload a license key?

Best regards

Jan

Hi Jan,  
you can use the enterprise version without violating the license. It just means the binary contains the enterprise code but to activate these features you need to upload a license key. Right now you’re basically using the team edition. If you use Docker there is a image without the enterprise code and no license upload dialog.
