Auth

auth initiates an online license acquisition flow.

For an overview of ways to license Flyway see Flyway Licensing

If auth is run on a machine that is connected to the internet with an accessible browser, Flyway will launch a web browser prompting the user to log in with their Redgate account username and password.

• auth needs to be able to launch a web browser and so doesn't work on WSL or when interacting with Flyway over SSH. For these cases it is recommended to use a non-interactive mechanism to license Flyway.
• If you need an offline licensing mechanism please look at License Permits

Flags:

Logout

auth -logout can be run to log out of an authorized session of Flyway. This will delete the license permit and refresh token stored on disk in the Redgate app data folder. Assuming no other methods of authorization are in use (such as a permit environment variable, a legacy license key environment variable, or a PAT token), the user will be logged out of their session and Flyway will run as Community Edition. If a valid permit environment variable, legacy license key environment variable, or PAT token is set, Flyway will still honor these as authorizations and logout will not remove them.

App Data Folder Locations

Flyway stores permits in a central location rather than it's installation location.
