How it works

From purchase to production in 4 steps

Fully offline — no licence server, no API calls at runtime.

01

Request a trial or purchase

Submit the form and your licence arrives instantly — no manual review, no wait.

02

Receive your licence file

You receive pdfluent.licence.json — a signed JSON file containing your product rights, expiry, and developer count. Treat it like an SSH private key.

{
  "version": 1,
  "type": "paid",
  "tier": "plus",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "issued_at": "2026-05-01T00:00:00Z",
  "exp": null,
  "signature": "ed25519:abcdef..."
}
03

Place file in your project

Drop pdfluent.licence.json next to your binary, or point to it via the PDFLUENT_LICENCE environment variable. The SDK never phones home — validation is fully offline.

# Option A: env var
export PDFLUENT_LICENCE=/etc/pdfluent/pdfluent.licence.json

# Option B: next to your binary
./my-app
./pdfluent.licence.json
04

SDK validates at startup

On initialisation the SDK verifies the Ed25519 signature against the embedded public key. No network request, no latency, works air-gapped.

// Rust
let sdk = Sdk::init_with_licence("pdfluent.licence.json")?;

// Node.js
const sdk = await Sdk.initWithLicence("pdfluent.licence.json");

// Python
sdk = Sdk.init_with_licence("pdfluent.licence.json")
