How licenses work

SimDrive licenses are Ed25519-signed JWT-shaped tokens that bind a license id to a machine fingerprint. There is no phone-home check after simdrive auth. The runtime verifies the signature locally on every tool call. This is intentional:

• CI runners (often offline or with restricted egress) work without network.
• Air-gapped enterprise environments work.
• We don’t see what you’re testing.

Trial vs paid

The trial issues a 14-day token signed with the same key as paid licenses. It unlocks every Pro tool — there is no functional difference between trial and paid except expiry. After day 14:

• session_start returns LicenseError: trial expired
• All record/replay/observe tools refuse
• version, doctor, and simdrive auth still work

simdrive auth <key> replaces the trial with a paid token.
