License Management
License Management — ɳSelf documentation.
nself Cloud includes a license management dashboard for buying, activating, and revoking plugin bundle licenses. All license operations are available at cloud.nself.org/dashboard/licenses.
License Types
| Type | Format | What It enables |
|---|---|---|
| Plugin bundle | nself + 32 chars |
A specific bundle (ɳChat, ɳClaw, ɳTV, etc.) |
| ɳSelf+ | Same format, tier = all |
All plugin bundles + all apps |
| Owner | Internal tier | All plugins, unlimited, never expires |
Viewing Your Licenses
Dashboard → Licenses shows a table of all licenses associated with your account:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Key | Masked key (nself****) |
| Type | Bundle name or “ɳSelf+” |
| Status | Active / Suspended / Expired / Cancelled |
| Domains | Servers this license is activated on |
| Expires | Renewal date or “,” for lifetime |
Activating a License
From the Dashboard
Dashboard → License → paste your key → click Activate.
The dashboard validates the key against ping.nself.org/license/validate and records activation.
On a Remote Server
To activate a license on a Cloud-managed server:
- Dashboard → Servers → select server → Plugins → Set License
- Paste your key
- Click Save: the dashboard runs
nself license set <key>on the server via SSH
Or from the CLI:
nself remote use myserver
nself license set nself_pro_...On a Self-Hosted Server
nself license set nself_pro_...
nself plugin install ai # tier checked server-sideBuying a License
Dashboard → Licenses → Buy License or visit cloud.nself.org/pricing.
Checkout is handled by Stripe. After payment:
- A license key is generated and emailed to you
- The key appears in your dashboard
- You can immediately use it to install plugins
Upgrading a License
Dashboard → Licenses → select license → Upgrade.
Upgrading to a higher tier (e.g., Basic → Pro) takes effect immediately. Prorated credit for the remaining billing period is applied to the new plan.
Revoking a License
A license is automatically revoked on subscription cancellation:
- Plugins remain installed but go dormant on the next
nself buildor service restart - The CLI shows a warning:
License key <key> is inactive, plugin <name> will not start - No data is deleted, plugins can be reactivated by renewing the license
License Key Security
- Keys are validated server-side against
ping.nself.org - Tier information is stored server-side, the key itself does not encode tier
- Compromised keys can be revoked from the dashboard without affecting your subscription
- Keys are masked in all UI displays and API responses
