Secure, flexible, and developer-friendly licensing system

🌟 Welcome¶

QuantumMeta License Server is a production-ready, universal licensing system designed specifically for the QuantumMeta ecosystem of PyPI packages in AI, quantum computing, and AGI. It provides a seamless balance between security and user experience.

✨ Key Features¶

🔐 Secure License Management¶

AES-256 Encryption: All license files (.qkey) are encrypted with military-grade encryption
Hardware Locking: Licenses are tied to unique machine fingerprints preventing unauthorized sharing
Digital Signatures: Optional Ed25519 signatures for additional verification

⏳ Grace Period System¶

1-Day Trial: Automatic grace period for new users without requiring upfront licensing
Seamless Transition: Smooth progression from trial to licensed usage
Smart Tracking: Usage patterns stored securely in ~/.quantummeta/usage_log.json

🧪 Developer-Friendly CLI¶

Simple Commands: quantum-license generate, activate, validate
Rich Output: Beautiful terminal interface with tables and color coding
Flexible Integration: Easy integration into any Python package

🛡️ Feature Gating¶

Granular Control: Enable specific features like ["core", "pro", "enterprise"]
Runtime Validation: Real-time feature availability checking
License Tiers: Support for multiple licensing tiers per package

🔧 Development Mode¶

Bypass for Developers: Set QUANTUMMETA_DEV=1 to skip all license checks
Testing Support: Perfect for CI/CD and development environments

🌐 Admin Dashboard¶

Web Interface: Modern, responsive admin dashboard for license management
Secure Login: Email and token-based authentication system
Real-time Management: Generate, validate, expire, and delete licenses
Usage Analytics: Track license usage and system statistics
Batch Operations: Manage multiple licenses efficiently

🚦 Quick Example¶

from quantummeta_license import validate_or_grace

# Simple integration - handles grace period automatically
def my_ai_function():
    validate_or_grace("quantum-metalearn")
    # Your AI/quantum computing code here
    return "Advanced AI computation completed!"

# Feature-gated functionality
def premium_feature():
    validate_or_grace("quantum-metalearn", required_features=["pro"])
    # Premium functionality only for licensed users
    return "Premium AI model accessed!"
