SolvScout / SolvTune: Licensing

Release: Production (GA)

Overview

SolvScout / SolvTune uses offline, machine-locked Ed25519 .lic files. There is no phone-home — validation is entirely local. There is no eval wheel; every download is a production build.

Property	Value
License prefix	`solvscout-license-v1`
Signature	Ed25519 (RFC 8032)
Machine binding	64-char hardware fingerprint in signed payload
Seat	Free lifetime after registration + machine activation

Customer flow

Install the release wheel from resonix.io/account (opens in a new tab) (pip install path/to/solvscout-*.whl)
Get machine code: python -m solvscout
Request free lifetime seat at the Resonix portal — paste your machine code
Download solvscout.lic from your profile
Activate: python -m solvscout activate ~/solvscout.lic
Verify: python -m solvscout status

pip install path/to/solvscout-*.whl
python -m solvscout
# Copy the 64-char machine code to the portal
 
python -m solvscout activate ~/Downloads/solvscout.lic
python -m solvscout status

License file location

After activation, the license is installed to the platform-specific path reported by python -m solvscout status. Re-activation overwrites the previous license on the same machine.

Seat terms

After registration and activation, SolvScout / SolvTune remains free for life on that machine seat. Re-issue a .lic from the portal if you move machines.

Contrast: SolvSRK uses a 30-day trial then subscription — not SolvScout.

Troubleshooting

Symptom	Fix
`LicenseError` / license failure on first API call	Run `python -m solvscout activate ...`
"Signature invalid"	Re-download `.lic` — do not edit the file
"Machine mismatch"	License was issued for a different machine code
"Expired"	Request a new seat file from the portal
