Question: Can WAHA Plus be used on multiple VPS servers?

[nexusjuniorai]

Hi WAHA Team 👋,

I'm planning to subscribe to WAHA Plus and had two quick questions before I proceed:

---

1️⃣ Can I use WAHA Plus on multiple VPS servers?

I saw in this discussion that it's allowed to run WAHA Plus on any number of servers, with multiple WhatsApp accounts.
Just confirming: is it really unlimited in terms of the number of VPS deployments I can do with a single license/API key?

---

2️⃣ About the subscription frequency: monthly or not?

On Boosty, the payment options show as monthly (like a typical subscription), but I noticed the maintainer mentioned here that it's not a monthly fee, but rather every "3–6 months".
Could you please clarify how the subscription works — is it recurring monthly, or does it renew manually every few months?

---

Thank you in advance for your help — and congrats on the awesome work with WAHA! 🚀

Best regards,
Antonio

It's working @devlikepro. I sincerely appreciate all the help you provide.

@nexusjuniorai what was the issue?

[nexusjuniorai]

@devlikepro I needed to use Waha with Apps (Chatwoot) and also with an API key, but when I set a sha512:key API key and a plain API key that were different, the worker showed as disconnected on Waha’s dashboard and when I tried to restart it I got a 401 Unauthorized error. I set the same value for both API keys — both WAHA_API_KEY and WAHA_API_KEY_PLAIN, and it worked perfectly.

[devlikepro]

intersting, may be something wrong with hash, we'll double check!
So it's like

WAHA_API_KEY=cce5cb32aa274c7da618fddfe6325c26
WAHA_API_KEY_PLAIN=cce5cb32aa274c7da618fddfe6325c26

right now in your .env file?
That's fine

[nexusjuniorai]

@devlikepro , yes it is and it's working perfectly. Tks for you support

Did you remove the "{" character?
Test as if you didn't need to use the apps.

[nexusjuniorai]

Yes, I removed it. The main issue is that I want to define an API KEY to use in HTTP requests, but I also need the apps active.

And for apps, it is necessary to define API_KEY_PLAIN. The question is whether I can define these TWO API KEYS in docker compose, since I need both
