Your account
A map of your account on the website: what each page is for, and where to go for the thing you actually want to do.
The pages
| Page | What lives there |
|---|---|
| Overview | To do lists only what needs you — a node waiting for you to confirm it, an invoice to pay, a certificate request to approve. In progress lists what is waiting on Cenvero, such as a payment we are checking. Below them, your licences, grouped by product. If nothing needs you, it says so. |
| Licences | Every licence on your account: its product and plan, how many of its nodes are in use, and when it expires or renews. Open one for its key, the install command, its nodes, what it includes, and its renewal. |
| Nodes | Every server running Stratum under your licences, grouped by licence. A newly installed node waits here until you confirm it (this is its activation). Filter by Needs confirmation, Active or All. |
| Add a node | The install command for the licence you choose, the activate command for a server that already has Stratum, and what happens next. Open it from Nodes, Licences or the Overview. |
| Billing › Orders | Every order you have placed — a new licence, a renewal or a wallet top-up — and its state. Open one for its payment instructions and to upload your payment proof. |
| Billing › Invoices | Your invoices. An unpaid one shows awaiting payment with a Pay button; a settled one is marked paid. Download the PDF at any time. |
| Billing › Wallet | Your balance, top-ups and the wallet's history. |
| Certificates | Certificate requests from your nodes waiting for your approval, your node certificates, and your certificate authority to trust on your computers. |
| Settings | Your profile and password, automatic renewal for the whole account, and automatic renewal of node certificates. |
| Developer | Shown once you are an approved plugin developer: your signing certificates, the tools, and your store. |
Signing in
An email address and password works for every account. If your organisation has single sign-on set up, the sign-in page will also offer a Sign in with SSO button, and you use your existing company account instead of a separate password.
A few things to expect if you sign in that way:
- Your identity comes from your provider. Changing your name or email is done there, not here — an update flows through the next time you sign in.
- Your password here becomes irrelevant. Access is granted and revoked by whoever administers your company directory, so removing someone there removes their access to this account too.
- Signing in with SSO never changes what you can do. It authenticates you; it does not grant any additional permissions.
If you do not see an SSO button, it is not enabled for your organisation — ask whoever administers it. There is nothing to configure from your side.
Common tasks
"I want to buy a licence." — Billing › Orders, then Buy a licence. Choose the product, plan, term and number of nodes; you pay on the next page.
"Where is my licence key?" — Licences. Open the licence; the key is at the top of its page, with Show and Copy.
"I want to install Stratum on a server." — Add a node. Choose the licence, copy the install command, and run it on the server.
"I installed Stratum and the node is waiting." — Nodes. A node that has asked to use one of your licences is listed under Needs confirmation; the Overview flags it too. Confirm it (it takes one of the licence's nodes) or Decline it.
"I no longer run a node." — Nodes, then More › Remove node on its row. It stops being licensed at its next check, and its place on the licence is freed for another node.
"A node lost its licence file." — Nodes, then **More › Reissue licence file on its row; saying why is optional, and helps Cenvero review it. More › Download licence file** is only needed when you set up a node by hand.
"I need to pay." — Billing › Invoices, or the Overview, which lists what is due. Both have a Pay button that takes you to the order carrying the payment instructions and the proof upload.
"I paid — where is my licence?" — Once we verify the payment, the invoice is marked paid and the licence is issued. It then appears under Licences, and you can add nodes to it.
"My licence expires soon." — Open it under Licences. Its Renewal section shows the next renewal date, lets you switch automatic renewal on or off for this licence, and has Renew now. With automatic renewal switched on in Settings and enough in your wallet, the licence renews on its own. If you renew by hand and submit payment proof, the wallet is not charged for that renewal as well. See Licensing → Automatic renewal.
"The server this licence was installed on has been replaced." — Open the licence under Licences and use Move to new hardware. Your node keeps running during the grace period while we move the licence.
"A node asked for a certificate." — Certificates. Check that the request really comes from your node, then Approve it. See TLS and licensing.
The order of things
An order and a licence are connected but not the same thing:
- You place an order for a plan and a number of nodes.
- An invoice is raised straight away so you have something to pay against.
- You pay and submit your proof; we verify it and the invoice is marked paid.
- A licence is issued and appears under Licences.
- You install Stratum on a server (Add a node); the node asks to use the licence (its activation).
- You confirm the node under Nodes, and it starts running under that licence.
Next steps

- Installation — getting Stratum onto a server
