How Licensing Works

License Detection

Code Scalpel automatically detects your license:

  1. Checks CODE_SCALPEL_LICENSE_PATH environment variable
  2. Looks for license file in standard locations
  3. Falls back to Community tier

License File

Pro and Enterprise licenses are JWT files:

# Set license via environment variable
export CODE_SCALPEL_LICENSE_PATH=/path/to/license.jwt

Verification

All license files are cryptographically signed. Code Scalpel verifies:

  • Signature validity (RSA)
  • Expiration date
  • Feature entitlements
  • Organization binding

Getting a License

  • Community

    No license needed. Just install and use.

    ```bash pip install codescalpel

  • Pro & Enterprise
