Licensing
Snippbot uses a tiered licensing model. The daemon itself always runs — licensing controls which features are available when connected to the Singularity Marketplace.

Which one is for me?
- Personal is for solo creators, hobbyists, and open-source contributors. Pay once, own it forever for the major version, and earn from your own marketplace activity. Personal use only — see the License Agreement for the full “personal use” definition.
- Pro is required if you use Snippbot at work, for paying clients, or to produce output that benefits an employer or business. Monthly or yearly subscription, includes priority API limits and (when GA) team features.

How Enforcement Works
Section titled “How Enforcement Works”- Local daemon: Always runs without restrictions. The daemon does not block any functionality based on license.
- Marketplace connection: When your daemon connects to the Singularity Marketplace, it sends your license key. The marketplace validates it and enables/restricts features accordingly.
- Offline: If the marketplace is unreachable, your last validated license is cached locally for 24 hours.
Can I switch between tiers? Yes. Activate a new license key at any time. Your previous tier is replaced immediately.
What happens when my Pro subscription lapses? Your daemon continues to work. Marketplace features revert to Free tier until you renew.
Is the Personal license really lifetime? Yes, for the major version you purchased. When Snippbot 2.0 ships (a future major release), you may need a new license for the new version. Minor updates (1.1, 1.2, etc.) are always included.
Can I use Snippbot at work with the Free tier? The Free tier is for personal, non-commercial use only. Your local daemon runs without restrictions on any tier, but commercial use of Snippbot — for work, paid clients, or any business-benefit output — requires a Pro license (or, for organizations, a Team or Enterprise plan).
