validate command

The validate command is used to activate and validate your testcode.ai license key. This guide explains how to use this command and manage your license effectively.

Basic usage

The basic usage of the validate command requires your license key:

probe validate YOUR_LICENSE_KEY

Replace YOUR_LICENSE_KEY with the actual license key you received via email when purchasing testcode.ai.

Example

probe validate abc123-def456-ghi789-jkl012

License validation status

You don't need to manually check your license status. testcode.ai automatically:

• Checks your license before running any command
• Prompts you to validate if your license is missing or expired

Automatic revalidation

If your license is about to expire, testcode.ai will attempt to revalidate it automatically when you run any command. This requires an internet connection.

Troubleshooting

Common validation issues

Invalid license key

• Verify that your license hasn't expired

Connection issues

If testcode.ai can't connect to the validation server:

• Check your internet connection
• Verify that your firewall isn't blocking the connection

License management

Viewing your license information

While testcode.ai doesn't have a dedicated command to view license information, you can:

1. Check the license file at ~/.probe/LICENSE
2. Contact customer support with your license key for detailed information

Upgrading your license

To upgrade from an individual license to a team or enterprise license:

1. Purchase the upgraded license on the testcode.ai website

Transferring your license

Individual licenses are tied to a specific user. To transfer a license:

1. Contact support@testcode.ai with your license key
2. Provide details about the transfer request
3. Once approved, the new user can validate the license
