package: The Sitecore.JavaScriptServices module requires a subscription license.

[emp]

This is happening on a working brand new single instance installation trying to deploy the samples-basic-react option.

When I run yarn package it goes all the way to

Sending package sitecore\update-package\JssBasicApp.1513824981603.update to http://xp0.sc/ship/services/package/install/fileupload...

Then fails with the exception below.

The license I have seems to be a normal Sitecore 8 license valid until Sept 2018, is a different type of license required? Rather new to it and unsure how licensing works. Do note everything else seems to work.

EDIT: Just tried using the update-package wizard and it analyses it fine and in the last step during installation throws the same error, attached the output zip log.

EDIT 2: I guess its answered in the docs at:

Use of the Technical Preview requires a Sitecore license file which has been authorized for Sitecore.Visit, i.e. consumption licensing. Partners may utilize SPN to request a an updated partner license with this permission. Customers should contact their account representative.

I'll close it for now and see if I can get the different license.

For the future reference. As the docs indicate, JSS requires a subscription license:

For partners:

While your recent partner license should already have subscription key that enables JSS, you may need to request a fresh partner license on spn.sitecore.net or reach out to your Sitecore Account Manager.

For customers:

If you are not on subscription license, please reach out to your Sitecore Account Manager and request a temp license for short term needs and discuss migration to a subscription license. If you are not sure whom to reach out to, email us.

How to check if your existing license enables JSS:

1. Open your license.xml with a browser (IE works better for some reason). The browser is supposed to show the license details.

   The browser will show a warning - ignore that.

2. Search for Sitecore.Visit key.

If it's present, you have a subscription license and JSS is enabled.
