Licensing
EliteBounty validates a license key on startup. Until a valid key is set, the plugin disables itself and no other systems load (language files, database, economy, commands, listeners).
Setting your key
# config.yml
license:
key: "YOUR-LICENSE-KEY"
Restart the server after pasting the key.
How validation works
On startup the plugin checks your key against the EliteBounty license server. This needs outbound internet and uses a short timeout, so a slow or unreachable server never hangs startup: it fails fast with a banner explaining why.
Console output
Success - a green box listing plugin, product, owner, Discord, masked key, creation date, and expiry.
Failure - a red box stating the server is not licensed, the reason, and two clickable links:
- Need a license? https://discord.arrowtan.cc
- Bought it / think it’s a leak? https://builtbybit.com/resources/elitebounty-item-money-hybrid.78843/
Troubleshooting
| Symptom | Likely cause |
|---|---|
| “No license key set” | license.key is empty |
| Cannot reach the license server | server has no outbound internet |
| Validation failed | key invalid or expired; contact support on Discord |
