Deployment License

The deployment license is an offline, vendor-signed file that caps what this platform may host. It is signed with Ed25519; the platform verifies the signature against its configured public key and never trusts the file's contents on its own.

Install a license

Choose the vendor .json file (or paste its contents) and install. The file carries a base64 payload and its detached Ed25519 signature. Installing replaces the current license immediately; the same file is accepted by the nereidlink license command line, so a deployment can be licensed without a running console. A license that fails signature verification is rejected and the current license is kept.

Fields

  • Status — Installed, or Not installed.
  • Customer — the licensed customer.
  • Tenant limit / Current tenants — how many tenants may exist. Unlimited means no cap.
  • Issued at / Expires at — the validity window.
  • Features — the licensed feature set; empty means no feature restriction.

Read-only degradation

When the license is missing, expired, over the tenant or device cap, or the rollback clock detects tampering, the deployment degrades to read-only instead of stopping:

  • no new tenants and no new devices can be created;
  • no new device connections are accepted;
  • existing devices keep reporting, and existing data stays readable and queryable.
