How it works.
What counts as a machine?
Any computer that runs the elements tooling. That means your laptop while you develop, and each server you deploy to. A license stays checked out to a machine until you check it back in. Moving it to another machine is one command.
What am I paying for?
You pay for the tooling: every elements command. You do not pay for the output. The runtime packages like @elements/app are MIT-licensed, and your app runs on plain Node.js without the Elements tooling. You are never locked in.
What's a license?
A license grants one machine the right to use Elements. You buy a fixed number at checkout. Check one out to a machine with > elements license checkout, and check it back in with > elements license checkin to free it for another machine.
Subscription or one-time?
A subscription by default. Your licenses renew automatically each quarter. Turn off auto-renew at checkout to pay three months at a time, then renew whenever you want.
Can I try before paying?
Yes. The install page starts a 3-day trial on your machine. No credit card, no signup.
What if I add a machine mid-quarter?
You pay a prorated amount for the days left in the quarter, then the full $300 at renewal.
