Licensing & editions

Foil ships in two editions:

Edition	CLI & dashboard	--deep investigations	Deep-dive UI	Price
Community		—	—	Free
Developer				See foil.peachstudio.be

How licensing works

• Each install generates a machine identity (~/.foil/installation.id) tied to the hardware UUID, so one seat activates on one machine at a time.
• On activation, the app calls the Peach Studio license server, exchanges the machine identity for a signed license token, and stores it locally.
• Offline operation is supported: the license token is re-verified periodically when the machine has network access, but scans continue offline.
• Check current status with foil server license.
• License is not needed for the Community Edition, however we would love the idea you could register anyhow.

Activating Developer edition

1. Purchase a license at foil.peachstudio.be
2. In the tray app, choose Preferences → License and paste your activation key
3. Restart the server (the tray app does this automatically)
4. foil server license should now report tier: developer

Moving to another machine

Deactivate the old machine first from your account page, then activate the new one. The license server enforces one active machine per seat.

Privacy

• Only the installation ID and license key are exchanged with the license server
• Source code, findings, and telemetry never leave the machine
• Model downloads come from Hugging Face directly, without HFTOKEN, not from Peach Studio infrastructure
