# License

> Activate, deactivate, and check the Vibrai license / trial status. Activation and deactivation are CLI-only by design — both mutate the customer's machine-seat count and bind a key to a machine, so they are human-initiated, not agent-driven. The MCP surface (LicenseTools) exposes the non-destructive half: read status and idempotent recheck.

Activate, deactivate, and check the Vibrai license / trial status. Activation and deactivation are CLI-only by design — both mutate the customer's machine-seat count and bind a key to a machine, so they are human-initiated, not agent-driven.

## Command line

### `license activate`

Activate a license key on this machine

```bash theme={null}
vibrai license activate <key>
```

<ParamField path="key" required>
  The license key from your purchase confirmation email
</ParamField>

### `license deactivate`

Release this machine's seat

```bash theme={null}
vibrai license deactivate
```

### `license status`

Show license / trial status

```bash theme={null}
vibrai license status
```

### `license recheck`

Force an online license re-validation

```bash theme={null}
vibrai license recheck
```

### `license privacy`

Show exactly what data licensing transmits

```bash theme={null}
vibrai license privacy
```

## MCP tools

### `get_license_status`

Get the current Vibrai license / trial status: state (trial, activated, offline\_grace, trial\_expired, license\_unverifiable), whether features are enabled, trial days remaining, and the offline-grace day count. Read-only.

```json theme={null}
{
  "tool": "get_license_status",
  "arguments": {}
}
```

### `recheck_license`

Force an online re-validation of the activated license against Lemon Squeezy and return the refreshed status. Idempotent — does not consume or release a seat. Use this to clear an offline-grace banner once back online. To ACTIVATE or DEACTIVATE a license, use the `vibrai license` CLI commands (CLI-only by design).

```json theme={null}
{
  "tool": "recheck_license",
  "arguments": {}
}
```
