Licensing FAQ

Can I try InterWorx Control Panel before I buy it?

Yes, there are two options available to you:

  1. InterWorx Control Panel has an online demo.
  2. InterWorx Control Panel offers a free 2-week demo license for testing purposes. This license can easily be updated to a full license should you choose to buy. Please send the following info to sales if you would like to take advantage of this: Name, Company, Street Address, City, State, Zip/Postal code, Country (if outside the US), and telephone number.
The demo license is a fully featured, unlimited domain license, that will expire 2 weeks after activation.

Can I try InterWorx Control Panel's clustering feature before I buy it?

No, we do not currently offer a try-before-you-buy for clustering. However, you can purchase a LEASED license for each server in your cluster and if you find that it does not suit your needs it is fully refundable within the first 30 days.

How much does InterWorx Control Panel cost?

Please visit our Order page for current pricing.

I'm using the free demo license and am ready to buy. How do I proceed?

You have two choices:

  1. You can contact our sales department and we can upgrade your existing key to an unlimited domain key and generate an invoice for you. When this is done all you have to do is sync the license ~iworx/cron/license.pex --sync
  2. You can get a new license key
    • order a new license key from our website
    • open /home/interworx/iworx.ini in your favorite text editor
    • locate the line key=«your license»
    • replace your existing license key with the new one
    • close and save the file
    • sync the license by executing the following command as root: ~iworx/cron/license.pex --sync

I have a demo license and ssl does not seem to work. What's wrong?

SSL does work on the demo license, but a few requirements need to be satisfied. In order to use SSL certificates, the SiteWorx account must be on a dedicated IP address, and you need to turn on "SSL" in the package options of the account. If the IP is shared (set on the IP Management page in NodeWorx), or if the SiteWorx account doesn't have the SSL package option enabled, the SSL menu in SiteWorx will be hidden.

Your website says your panel is a clustering panel, but I do not see the clustering functionality in your online demo. What's up?

The demo is not currently set up on a clustered box.

How do I change the IP that my InterWorx license is bound to?

Direct Clients can reset the license IP for any of their license keys by following the steps in the following How To:

Am I allowed to redistribute/translate the contents of the InterWorx website and documentation?

Yes, all information contained on the InterWorx.com website (both docs and root site) are authorized for duplication and translation into other languages. A link back to interworx.com is requested but not required.

Do you have any Powered By InterWorx or Managed By InterWorx Control Panel buttons?

Yes, on our Logos page.

Why does InterWorx Control Panel need to contact the licensing server four times a day?

The product needs to contact a licensing server to enforce licenses. Anyone can download our software, the only thing that guarantees it has been paid for is the periodic license check.

If the license does expire, then the InterWorx software displays an error page rather than what you would normally see. Websites, e-mail, ftp, etc are not affected if a license expires, only the control panel itself and with it your ability to configure your website features.
