Instance IDs (Pro plans)

Reference guides and how-tos for FileRise core and Pro.

Last updated Jan 19, 2026

Instance IDs bind Pro licenses to specific FileRise installations. 12-month updates plans require them.

Find your Instance ID

  1. In your FileRise server, open Admin -> FileRise Pro.
  2. Copy the Instance ID shown there.

Change or add Instance IDs

Business licenses (up to 3 instances)

  • Use /pro/instances.php to add new Instance IDs.
  • This reissues your license with the added IDs and does not extend your updates window.
  • If you need to remove or replace an old Instance ID, email support so we can reissue a clean set.

Personal licenses (1 instance)

  • Personal plans allow 1 Instance ID. If you move servers or need to change it, email support with:
    • Your license key (FRP1...)
    • The new Instance ID
    • Your checkout email

Recover a lost license

  1. Open /pro/recover.php.
  2. Enter the email used at checkout and your Stripe Checkout Session ID (starts with cs_).
  3. Submit the form to retrieve your license key.

Renew updates (12 months)

  1. Open /pro/renew.php.
  2. Paste your current license key and (if needed) Instance IDs.
  3. Complete checkout to add 12 more months of updates.
