Keys & security model
Your key is never stored
Parmtech stores only a SHA-256 hash of your licence key. The raw key is displayed exactly once, at issue time. A breach of our database yields no usable keys.
Signed responses
Every validation response is signed with Ed25519. Products verify signatures locally with our public key, which means:
- A man-in-the-middle cannot forge an "active" response.
- Products work offline through the snapshot TTL and grace window.
- Revocation is immediate: we simply stop signing.
Seats
A seat is one activated installation, identified by domain + install id. Activation is idempotent and concurrency-safe — parallel activations from a load-balanced fleet cannot exceed your seat limit. Free seats any time from your dashboard.
