Corporate networks can sometimes block access to our licensing server. The machine you’re activing the license on will need to reach the internet, or, support can provide the licensing server URL upon request.

If you’re using a proxy, Anka recognizes the standard http_proxy and https_proxy env variables. However, sudo will not pass the environment by default, so activation should be called with sudo -E anka license activate {LICENSE} to pass the current user’s *_proxy envs into sudo.

Ensure you’ve accepted the EULA

sudo anka license accept-eula
