License System

This page explains how SilkPanel licensing and Composer authentication work.

1. Create an account on devso.me

Create your account at:

• https://devso.me

2. Create a server and get your API token

After login, create your server in the devso.me panel. The API token is shown in your server/license area.

You need this token for Composer authentication.

3. Configure Composer authentication globally

SilkPanel uses a private Composer repository (https://composer.devso.me). The API token is not stored in composer.json.

Set your token globally:

composer config --global --auth custom-headers.composer.devso.me "API-TOKEN: YOUR_API_TOKEN"

Check which token/header is currently configured:

composer config --global custom-headers.composer.devso.me --auth

4. Trial and license expiration behavior

If your trial (or active license period) expires:

• Your existing SilkPanel CMS installation keeps working.
• You can continue using SilkPanel CMS.
• Automatic updates are no longer available until a valid license is active again.

In short: usage continues, update access stops.
