This project aims to generate a GitLab License for development purpose. If you encounter any problem, please solve them yourself.
Last tested on GitLab v16.11.0-ee .
src/generator.keys.rb
The GitLab uses public/private key pair to encrypt the license. The public key is shipped with the GitLab distro and the private key is kept privately. The license it self is just a json dictionary. Since GitLab made their code open source, we can easily generate a license by our own.
src/generator.license.rb
The lib folder is extracted from GitLab's source. It is used for building and validating the license. Script src/generator.license.rb will load it.
src/scan.features.rb
The features is extracted from a object full of constant. The most powerful plan for a license is ultimate, but features like geo mirror is not included in any type of the plan. So here by we add them manually.
Follow the procedure below to generate and install a license for your development use.

In GitLab 14.7.x to 14.9.x, you can add the license file with the UI. In GitLab 14.1.x to 14.7, if you have already activated your subscription with an activation code, you cannot access Add License from the Admin Area. You must access Add License directly from the URL, /admin/license/new.
Service Ping is a GitLab process that collects and sends a weekly payload to GitLab. The payload provides important high-level data that helps our product, support, and sales teams understand how GitLab is used.
