Licensing

Commercial product with a free trial

MACHHUB Platform is a commercial product developed by Intellogic Technology. You can evaluate it for free right away with the built-in, fully featured 2-hour trial — no license or key required (see Trial mode below). A license is needed for continued and production use. (The publicly available AI agent skills and this documentation are separate from the licensed platform.)

MACHHUB Platform uses node-locked licensing: a license is bound to the specific machine it runs on, identified by hardware characteristics (such as the CPU). This fits the edge deployment model, where each device runs its own MACHHUB Platform instance.

How activation works

  A["The Platform generates an\nactivation request\n(from your key + machine info)"] --> B["You obtain a license\n(.mpl file)"]
  B --> C["Upload the .mpl to the Platform"]
  C --> D["License Active"]

1. Generate an activation request. The Platform combines your license key with the machine’s hardware fingerprint into an activation-request string.
2. Obtain a license file. That request is exchanged for a license file with the .mpl extension.
3. Upload the .mpl. Uploading the file to the Platform activates it.

Getting a license today

For now, license keys and .mpl files are issued with the help of the MACHHUB team — contact us to obtain one. A self-service license management platform is currently in development.

Trial mode

You can evaluate the platform for free, with no license or key. The trial is fully featured — every capability is available, with no feature limits; the only limit is the 2-hour session length.

1. Log in to the web console.
2. On the License banner (Settings → License), click Start 2-Hour Trial.
3. A 2-hour trial session starts immediately — the whole platform is usable.

When the 2 hours are up, just log in again and start another 2-hour trial to keep evaluating. For uninterrupted or production use, activate a license.

Checking and activating in the console

• The Home dashboard shows a License Status card (Active / Inactive).
• Under Settings → License, upload your .mpl file to activate.

See Console → Settings & licensing.
