Obtaining and using license key

To run MiXCR one need a license file. MiXCR is free for academic users with no commercial funding. We are committed to support academic community and provide our software free of charge for scientists doing non-profit research.

Academic users can quickly get a license at https://licensing.milaboratories.com.

Commercial trial license may be requested at https://licensing.milaboratories.com or by email to licensing@milaboratories.com.

The easiest way to activate the license is to run activate-license command and paste the content of the license key therein: 

> mixcr activate-license

  Please enter the license: ...

Another way to activate the license is to create a file mi.license file in the one of the following directories:

  • ~/ (home directory)
  • directory with mixcr.jar file
  • directory with MiXCR executable

One also can use .mi.license name if placing this file into the home directory.

Finally, one can use environment variables:

  • MI_LICENSE env var with the content of mi.license file
  • MI_LICENSE_FILE env var with the path to mi.license file
