Register a database
===================

To register your database, enter your subscription code in the banner in the app dashboard. If the
registration is successful, the banner will turn green and display the database expiration date.

.. tip::
   The expiration date is also displayed at the bottom of the Settings page.

Duplicate a database
====================

Duplicate a database by accessing the database manager on your server
(`<odoo-server>/web/database/manager`). Typically, you want to duplicate your production database
into a neutralized testing database. It can be done by checking the neutralize box when prompted,
which executes all :file:`neutralize.sql` scripts for every installed module.

Common error messages and solutions
===================================

Registration error
------------------

In case of a registration error, the following message should be displayed.

   :alt: Database registration error message

To resolve the issue:

- Check the **validity of your Odoo Enterprise subscription** by verifying if your subscription
  details have the tag :guilabel:`In Progress` on your `Odoo Account
  <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`_ or contact your Account Manager.

- Ensure that **no other database is linked** to the subscription code, as only one database can be
  linked per subscription.

  .. tip::
     If a test or a development database is needed, you can :ref:`duplicate a database
     <on-premise/duplicate>`.

- Verify that **no databases share the same UUID** (Universally Unique Identifier) by opening your
  `Odoo Contract <https://accounts.odoo.com/my/subscription>`_. If two or more databases share the
  same UUID, their name will be displayed.

  If that is the case, manually change the database(s) UUID or `send a support ticket
  <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_.

- As the update notification must be able to reach Odoo's subscription validation servers, ensure
  your **network and firewall settings** allow the Odoo server to open outgoing connections
  towards:

  - Odoo 18.0 and above: `services.odoo.com` on port `80`
  - Odoo 17.0 and below: `services.openerp.com` on port `80`

  These ports must be kept open even after registering a database, as the update notification runs
  once a week.

Too many users error
--------------------

If you have more users in a local database than provisioned in your Odoo Enterprise subscription,
the following message should be displayed.

.. image:: on_premise/add-more-users.png
   :alt: Too many users on a database error message

When the message appears, you have 30 days to act before the database expires. The countdown is
updated every day.

To resolve the issue, either:

- **Add more users** to your subscription by clicking the :guilabel:`Upgrade your subscription` link
  displayed in the message to validate the upsell quotation and pay for the extra users.
- :ref:`Deactivate users <users/deactivate>` and **reject** the upsell quotation.

Once your database has the correct number of users, the expiration message disappears automatically
after a few days, when the next verification occurs.

Database expired error
----------------------

If your database expires before you renew your subscription, the following message should be
displayed.

.. image:: on_premise/database-expired.png
   :alt: Database expired error message

This message appears if you fail to act before the end of the 30-day countdown.

To resolve the issue, either:

- Click the :guilabel:`Renew your subscription` link displayed in the message and complete the
  process. If you pay by wire transfer, your subscription will be renewed when the payment arrives
  which can take a few days. Credit card payments are processed immediately.
- `Send a support ticket <https://www.odoo.com/help>`_.
