Account and licensing
You can use Dynomate without an account or a license. Start a free trial to try every feature, and activate a license when you're ready. If you don't, Dynomate continues with free Community access.
Dynomate and AWS accounts
Dynomate uses two separate types of account:
- Your Dynomate account controls the trial, subscription, license seats, and device activation.
- Your AWS identity controls access to AWS accounts, Regions, and DynamoDB tables.
You don't need a Dynomate account to install and use Dynomate. To start now, follow the Quick Start. You use a Dynomate account to start the trial or activate a license. Dynomate does not store your AWS access keys in your Dynomate account.
Start a trial or activate a license
- Open the License dialog.
- Enter your email address.
- Select Submit.
- Enter the six-digit code from the email.
- Select Sign In.
Your first sign-in creates your Dynomate account and starts the trial. If your account has a paid license, Dynomate activates a seat for it.
Trial and access levels
The 14-day trial includes every Dynomate feature. It starts when you create your Dynomate account. If you don't activate a paid license by the end of the trial, Dynomate continues with Community access.
| Access level | Work tabs | AWS profile support | Request collections |
|---|---|---|---|
| 14-day trial | Unlimited | Access key, MFA, SSO, AWS Login, and local | Included |
| Community | Up to two | Access key, MFA, AWS Login, and local | Not included |
| Indie | Unlimited | Access key, MFA, AWS Login, and local | Not included |
| Professional | Unlimited | Access key, MFA, SSO, AWS Login, and local | Included |
| Enterprise | Unlimited | Access key, MFA, SSO, AWS Login, and local | Included |
SSO means AWS IAM Identity Center
authentication. AWS Login means a profile
that signs in with aws login. MFA means multi-factor
authentication with a six-digit code. A local profile connects to a local
endpoint such as DynamoDB Local or LocalStack.
The Dynomate CLI is free and doesn't need a license.
License activation
A paid subscription provides one or more license seats. A license seat is assigned to a user and activated on a device.
When you sign in, Dynomate tries to activate the best available seat for your account. If all seats are in use, ask the subscription owner to free or reassign a seat. Use the License dialog to refresh the status after a purchase or seat change.
Access verification
Dynomate periodically verifies trial and license access online. It allows up to seven days between successful checks. If it cannot verify access after that time, it uses Community access until verification succeeds.
Connect to the internet and select Refresh status in the License dialog to retry the check.
