## How Licensing Works

<Steps>
  <Step title="Purchase">
    Purchase a license key from [argentos.ai](https://argentos.ai)
  </Step>

  <Step title="Activate">
    Activate the key on your ArgentOS instance
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    ArgentOS periodically verifies the license is valid
  </Step>

  <Step title="Use">
    Licensed features are unlocked based on your tier
  </Step>
</Steps>

## License Keys

A license key looks like:

```
ARGENT-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
```

Keys are tied to a hardware fingerprint after activation, preventing unauthorized sharing.

## Offline Support

After initial activation, ArgentOS works offline with a grace period. The license is verified locally using a cached token. Online verification is required periodically to maintain active status.

## Managing Your License

    # Deactivate (for transferring to another machine)
    argent license deactivate
    ```
  </Tab>

  <Tab title="Via Dashboard">
    Navigate to **Settings > License** to view your license status, features, and expiration.
