No more activations allowed for this license

Erik | Last updated: May 18, 2022 07:22AM UTC

I get this for when I try to move my Burp installation to a new computer at work. Can you please add some more for me. This message is really weird, as you're licensing terms seems to be "yeah, it's a per user license, and you can install it on more than one computer. That's until without a warning or without any solution we will cut you off. A more sane approach would be say: you can install this software on five computers. Which computer would you like to remove from the activations?

I often create a virtual machine for ONE job, then destroy it and all the data one it. I reinstall the latest Kali and Burp Suite Pro for the next job. So I burn through licenses fast this way. It's known problem with us pentesters, that we don't care to dispose of their work data post work completion. I try to be better than that.

Hi Erik, Unfortunately, the way that the licensing system works means that there is no way to 'deactivate' an installation, in order to return it to the available pool of activations, once you have activated it - it will always count against your activation total. You should now, however, be able to use your license to activate Burp again.

Thank you.

Hello, in order to perform some internal activities within one of our clients, we deleted and disabled the license on one of our devices. The problem is that it now says there are no more licenses that can be activated. Can you kindly resolve this? Thank you in anticipation.

Ben, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Feb 20, 2023 08:53AM UTC

HI Andrea, You should now be able to activate Burp again using your license key.

Yes...I'm an intern at a big company and prior to knowing how it works I have reinstalled Burp 4 times...my boss is probably going to kill me. Portswigger, please, can you save me? Pretty please

Ben, PortSwigger Agent | Last updated: Apr 18, 2023 06:38AM UTC

Hi Maks, You too should now be able to activate Burp again. Hopefully this saves you from your boss's wrath....

Hi, Support manager. I have to activate my burp pro, but I can't. I did it may by 6 or 7 times because of different virtuals and systems, for example arch was crashed or it was necessary for work, 1 project = 1 virtual. Can I reset All my activations?

Hello, When we access Burp Suite Pro via GUI, it opens and works fine. However, when we integrate the burp-rest-api extension, it asks for the license again, even though it is already activated on our machine. Could you help me with this?
