✅ How licensing works
Once you have installed Liberation on your computer it will run in free mode until you authorise it.
In addition to the number of lasers you can arm, you can also use DMX fixtures. See dmx-control.
There is also a limit to the number of computers you can authorise Liberation on, depending on your licence tier.
| Licence tier | Number of computers | Lasers | DMX fixtures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hobby | 1 | 2 | 0 |
| Pro 4 | 1 | 4 | 4 |
| Pro 8 | 2 | 8 | 8 |
| Unlimited | 3 | Unlimited | Unlimited |
Internet connectivity
Liberation's licensing and authorisation works over the internet; the app connects to our server to associate an installation with your paid licence.
Once your installation is authorised it doesn't need to be online again until your paid licence reaches its next payment or paid-until date. You can see this date in the About panel. There is a short grace period (7 days for monthly paid licences) but it is recommended to go online as soon as possible after that date to make sure your authorisation remains active.
The current licence tier is also shown in the top bar. Click the tier name, or FREE MODE when unlicensed, to open the About panel.
