EGS Registration

To obtain a valid license for EGS, you must register with Avesha. This topic outlines the steps to get a valid license to install EGS.

How to Register

To register:

1. Go to https://avesha.io/egs-registration.

   

2. On the registration page, enter the following:

   • For Full Name, enter your name.

   • For Company, enter the name of your company.

   • For Title/Position/Role, enter your designation in the company.

   • For Work Email, enter your official email address.

   • For Cluster Fingerprint, enter your cluster fingerprint. You can run the command that is provided as a tool tip above this text field to determine the cluster fingerprint. Use the following command:

     kubectl get namespace kube-system -o=jsonpath='{.metadata.creationTimestamp}{.metadata.uid}{"\n"}'

     This command generates a unique identifier based on your cluster's kube-system namespace creation timestamp and UID, which serves as the cluster fingerprint for license registration.

   • For Select Cloud Type, select the cloud location from the drop-down list.

3. Review the Terms and Conditions and check the box to accept.

4. Click Register.

Retrieve Your License

After registration, Avesha processes your license request and sends the license file to your registered email address. An expected delivery time is, within 5 minutes of registration.

You will receive an email from the Avesha team (avesha@avesha.io) with the subject line Your Elastic GPU Service License. The email contains:

• Welcome message explaining the EGS platform capabilities
• Installation guidance directing you to EGS documentation
• License file attachment named egs-license.yaml
• Support information with contact details at support@avesha.io
