Subject: License not visible in ABP Commercial account / License validation errors

Hello ABP Support Team,

I am facing an issue with my ABP Commercial subscription and license management:

Issue:

I do not see any valid licenses under my ABP Commercial account

→ Licenses section.

When I try to build/run my solution, I encounter license validation errors.

Error Logs:

2025-09-11 18:55:06.766 +05:30 [ERR] ABP-LIC-0017 - License code is not valid: API Key

2025-09-11 18:55:06.766 +05:30 [ERR] ABP-LIC-0017 - License code is not valid: API Key

2025-09-11 18:55:06.779 +05:30 [ERR] ABP-LIC-ERROR - License check failed for 'Volo.FileManagement.HttpApi-v8.3.1.0'.

What I tried so far:

Checked my nuget.config setup.

Verified package sources are pointing to https://nuget.abp.io/....

Confirmed API key entry in <packageSourceCredentials>.

Cleaned cache (dotnet nuget locals all --clear) and retried.

Request:

Could you please help me with the following:

Why I don’t see any licenses under my account dashboard?

How to generate the correct license code/API key for ABP Commercial packages (e.g., Volo.FileManagement.HttpApi-v8.3.1.0).

Steps to fix the ABP-LIC-0017 error so my solution builds successfully.

Environment Details:

ABP Framework version: v8.3.1

.NET SDK: 8

OS: (Windows)

Thanks in advance for your support!

    To resolve your ABP Commercial license visibility and validation issues, follow these steps:

    1. Why you don’t see licenses under your account dashboard:

      • Licenses are only visible if your account is associated with an active ABP Commercial subscription and your organization has assigned the license to your user. If you purchased a license but do not see it, ensure:
        • You are logged in with the correct email/account.
        • Your organization admin has assigned the license to you.
        • The purchase was completed and not just a trial (trial licenses expire and disappear).
    2. How to generate the correct license code/API key:

      • For ABP Commercial, you must use the AbpLicenseCode (not the NuGet API key) in your application's configuration (e.g., appsettings.json or as an environment variable).
      • The NuGet API key in nuget.config is only for downloading packages, not for runtime license validation.
      • To get your AbpLicenseCode:
        • Log in to your ABP Commercial account at https://abp.io.
        • Go to "My Licenses" or "My Organizations" and find your project/license.
        • Copy the AbpLicenseCode and add it to your application's configuration.
    3. Fixing ABP-LIC-0017 and license validation errors:

      • Ensure you are not using the NuGet API key as the AbpLicenseCode.
      • In your appsettings.json (or as an environment variable), set:
    "AbpLicenseCode": "<your-copied-license-code>"
    
    • If you previously used a trial license, log out from ABP CLI and log in again with your commercial credentials:
    abp logout
         abp login <your-username> -p <your-password> -o <your-organization>
    
    • If you upgraded from a trial to a commercial license, you must update all AbpLicenseCode entries in your solution with the new code from your commercial license.
    1. Additional checks:
      • Make sure your NuGet package source is set to https://nuget.abp.io/ and the API key is correct for package restore.
      • Clean and rebuild your solution after updating the license code.

    Following these steps should resolve both the license visibility and validation errors.
