ZeroTrace OSINT
Licensing
How ZeroTrace OSINT is licensed, how activation works, and how it behaves offline.
Licensing
ZeroTrace OSINT is a licensed product. Its tool library unlocks once you activate the app with your license. Activation ties your license to the machine you are using, so your license is yours and stays with your workbench.
Activating
The first time you open OSINT, you activate it with your license. Once activated, the workbench remembers it, and you can get straight to work each time you open the app.
License states
Your license can be in one of a few states, and OSINT tells you which one applies:
- Active — your license is valid on this machine and the tools are available.
- Invalid or expired — the license could not be verified or has run out; renew or re-activate to continue.
- Wrong machine — the license is tied to a different computer.
- Temporarily unavailable — the licensing service could not be reached right now, or you have made too many checks in a short time; try again shortly.
- Update required — a newer version of the app is needed before this license will verify.
If OSINT cannot confirm your license, it holds the tools closed rather than opening them by mistake. This keeps a licensed workbench licensed.
ZeroTrace uses the same activation model for its licensed software. For the full picture, including how a license is tied to a machine and how transfers work, see the Licensing & Activation section.
