License Activation

To activate the instance, the product license is verified by our license servers. The activation request is sent as an outbound HTTPS POST from the web container to draftable.com.
HostPortProtocolRequired
draftable.com443HTTPSYes
The required host is draftable.com — not www.draftable.com. These two domains resolve to different IP addresses on different infrastructure. Whitelisting www.draftable.com alone will not enable license activation.
The IP address of draftable.com may change due to CDN and load balancer usage, so the firewall should dynamically whitelist based on the DNS query response rather than static IP addresses.

Verifying connectivity

To confirm that the web container can reach the licensing endpoint, run the following from the host:
docker compose exec web curl -v https://draftable.com
If this command completes with a successful TLS handshake and an HTTP response, the firewall is correctly configured for license activation.
