Licensing & tiers

Cerevisor uses a freemium model. Three tiers exist: Tier How you get it Cost Trial Automatic on first install. Lasts 7 days. Free. Free Trial expires without upgrade. Free, with feature caps. Paid Buy a license at cerevisor.com. Subscription via Lemon Squeezy. Trial tier When you install Cerevisor for the first time, you get 7 days of full-feature access . The Trial Countdown Badge in the title bar shows days remaining. Trial includes everything Paid includes, no caps, no nags. The intent is to give you a real shot at testing the product before you decide. Free tier When the trial expires (and you haven't upgraded), Cerevisor drops to Free. Free is genuinely usable; most of the product works, but a few features and capacity limits kick in: Capability Free cap Workflows in a workspace 2 Workspaces (.cerevisor-world files) 2 MCP servers Gated Loop & Enhance Gated Scheduled runs Gated Cursor cloud runs Gated Per-agent provider overrides Gated Web search (Tavily/Perplexity/Linkup) Gated Chat builder Gated Skill Workshop editing Gated (browsing OK) For each gated surface, you'll see an Upgrade Card in place of the feature, describing what it does and a "Start subscription" CTA. The 2-workflow / 2-workspace caps don't delete what you've already built; existing data stays accessible. The caps prevent creating a 3rd one. Paid tier Everything is unlocked. The Subscription tab in Settings shows: Your license key (masked, with copy button). Email associated with the license. Active device count. Activated-on date. Deactivate this device : frees your seat (useful when migrating to a new machine). Re-validate : forces a fresh check with Lemon Squeezy. A license covers a fixed number of active devices (typically 2). Hit the cap → deactivate an old device → activate the new one. Grace tier (transient) If Cerevisor can't reach the Lemon Squeezy license server (DNS, timeout, no internet, server down), you stay on your current tier in Grace mode for up to 14 days. The UI shows a small "License check pending" badge. This is a hard architectural rule: a license-server outage cannot strand paying users on a broken tier. Only an explicit valid: false response from the server flips you to Free. After 14 days of failed checks, the tier downgrades. Until then, you stay on Paid (or Trial, whichever you were on). Upgrading Two paths: Settings → Subscription → Upgrade to Paid. Opens cerevisor.com/pricing in your browser. Any Upgrade Card on a gated feature. Same destination. Buy a license. You'll receive an email with the license key. In Cerevisor: Settings → Subscription → Activate license → paste the key. Cerevisor calls Lemon Squeezy to bind the key to this device. Deactivating a seat To free a seat (e.g. you're getting rid of an old laptop): Settings → Subscription → Deactivate this device. Cerevisor calls Lemon Squeezy to release the seat. The device drops to Free immediately. The license still works for any other devices you've activated. If you forgot to deactiva
