Using GoReleaser Pro¶

GoReleaser Pro is a different binary, see the install options. Once you have it, you can use the serial key with either --key or by setting GORELEASER_KEY.

See this page for more information.

Once you buy it, you'll get a license key. You can then pass it to the release command either via the --key flag or the GORELEASER_KEY environment variable.

If you use the GitHub action, you will want to set the distribution option to goreleaser-pro. Check the documentation for more details.

Offline licenses¶

This will be available in the next release (v2.14). Stay tuned!

If you run GoReleaser in an environment without internet access (air-gaped), you can export an offline license and use it instead of the regular key.

Offline licenses are verified locally — no network calls are made during verification.

Exporting an offline license:

goreleaser license-export --key "your-license-key" -o goreleaser.key

This contacts the GoReleaser signing server, verifies your subscription, and writes a signed license blob to the given file. You can also export to STDOUT with -o -.

Using an offline license:

Set GORELEASER_KEY to the contents of the exported file:

export GORELEASER_KEY="$(cat goreleaser.key)"
goreleaser release

GoReleaser will automatically detect the offline license and verify it locally.
