Unimus is a network automation and configuration management platform designed for backup, audit, and mass config push. The License Key is the core mechanism that controls feature availability, device scalability, and operational mode (evaluation vs. production).
The license is node‑locked to a specific Unimus server instance, typically identified by a hardware‑derived System ID (also called Node ID). Unlike a simple text key, Unimus uses a binary or encoded license file (unimus.license) plus optional activation metadata. Unimus License Key
