Enterprise setup

The enterprise features ship in a separate package, dockview-enterprise, and are unlocked with a licence key. This page covers installing the package and applying your key. For what is included, see Licensing.

Install​

dockview-enterprise is a drop-in superset of the free dockview package: it re-exports the whole dockview API and adds the enterprise features. Importing it registers those features for every dockview instance in your app.

JavaScript​

Install dockview-enterprise instead of dockview (not alongside it), and import from it wherever you would have imported from dockview:

npm install dockview-enterprise

The stylesheet is unchanged; the styles live in the core package that dockview-enterprise re-exports:

@import 'dockview/dist/styles/dockview.css';

React, Vue, or Angular​

Keep installing and importing your components from the framework binding (dockview-react, dockview-vue, or dockview-angular), and add dockview-enterprise next to it:

npm install dockview-enterprise

Then add a one-line side-effect import once, anywhere that runs at start-up (your entry point is a good place), to activate the enterprise features:

import 'dockview-enterprise';

Apply your licence key​

Set your key once, before creating any dockview instance:

import { LicenseManager } from 'dockview-enterprise';

LicenseManager.setLicenseKey('your-license-key');

That is the whole setup. With the package imported, the enterprise options become available on every DockviewComponent.

You are free to evaluate the enterprise features locally without a key, where Dockview shows a watermark. A licence is required to deploy to production.

What the expiry date means​

Any version of Dockview published on or before your key's expiry date keeps working with that key forever. The check uses the release date of the build you are running, not today's date, so a deployed application never starts watermarking itself.

The date limits which new versions you get, not how long your app runs. Upgrading past it shows the watermark; staying on a covered version does not.

Validation is offline: Dockview makes no network requests to check a key.
