Licensing
OpsWeave uses an offline freemium model — the Starter Edition is permanently free, and Enterprise features are unlocked through a cryptographically signed license key.
Starter Edition (Free)
Available immediately, no account or registration required.
| Resource | Limit |
|---|---|
| Assets | ≤ 50 |
| Users | ≤ 5 |
| Tickets | Unlimited |
| Workflow Templates | ≤ 3 |
| Compliance Frameworks | ≤ 1 |
| Monitoring Sources | ≤ 1 |
All stored data remains accessible — only the creation of new entries is blocked when the limit is reached (no data deletion, no hard block).

| Vertical Service Catalogs | Customer-specific catalogs |
| Customer Portal | Self-service for end customers |
| Email Inbound | IMAP + webhook providers |
| Commercial Support | SLA-based support |
How Licensing Works
OpsWeave uses JWKS-based license validation (RS256) with three activation methods:
Method 1: Claim Code (recommended)
- You receive an 8-digit claim code (
OW-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX) - Enter the code in Settings → License
- OpsWeave contacts the license server once and receives the JWT
- Enterprise features are immediately available
Method 2: Auto-Push (Zero-Touch)
When telemetry is enabled, the instance registers automatically with the license server. Once a license is assigned, it is pushed automatically on the next heartbeat — Enterprise license active in approximately 6 seconds after container start.
Method 3: Offline (manual JWT)
- You receive a signed JWT directly
- Paste it in Settings → License
- No internet access required — fully offline verifiable
Validation
OpsWeave validates licenses via a JWKS fallback chain:
- License Server (JWKS endpoint) → most current keys
- Disk Cache → works during temporary network issues
- Embedded PEM → guarantees offline operation

Licensing Model
OpsWeave is proprietary software, distributed under an End-User License Agreement (EULA). In short:
- Starter Edition is free for internal business use, within the tier limits listed above.
- Commercial tiers (Team, Business, Enterprise) require a valid license key.
- No redistribution to third parties, no modification, no reverse engineering beyond what applicable mandatory law permits.
- Source code review for audit purposes is available on request under a separate Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA).
The full EULA text ships with every distribution (LICENSE).
