quantummeta-license 1.1.1

Universal, secure licensing system for QuantumMeta ecosystem packages

QuantumMeta License Server

A universal, secure licensing system for the entire QuantumMeta ecosystem of PyPI packages in AI, quantum computing, and AGI.

🚀 Features

• 🔐 Secure License Management: AES-256 encrypted .qkey files with hardware locking
• 🖥️ Machine Locking: License tied to unique hardware fingerprint (UUID + MAC + disk serial)
• ⏳ Grace Period: 1-day free trial on first import, then license required
• 🧪 CLI Tool: Easy license generation, activation, and validation
• 🛡️ Feature Gating: Control access to specific package features
• 🔧 Developer Friendly: Development bypass with QUANTUMMETA_DEV=1

📦 Installation

pip install quantummeta-license

🚀 Quick Start

For End Users

1. Activate a license (if you have one):

quantum-license activate /path/to/your/license.qkey

2. Check license status:

quantum-license validate quantum-metalearn

3. Use in your Python code:

from quantummeta_license import validate_or_grace

# This will either validate the license or start the 1-day grace period
validate_or_grace("quantum-metalearn")

For Package Developers

Integrate licensing into your QuantumMeta package:

from quantummeta_license import validate_or_grace, LicenseError

def my_premium_function():
    try:
        # Validate license with specific features
        validate_or_grace("my-quantum-package", required_features=["pro"])
        # Your premium functionality here
        return "Premium feature activated!"
    except LicenseError:
        return "This feature requires a Pro license."

🧪 CLI Commands

The quantum-license CLI provides these commands:

• generate: Create a new license (admin use)
• activate: Install a license file
• validate: Check license status and features
• info: Display system information

Examples

# Generate a license (admin only)
quantum-license generate --package quantum-metalearn --user [e-mail] --features core,pro

# Activate a license
quantum-license activate license.qkey

# Validate specific package
quantum-license validate quantum-metalearn

# Show system info
quantum-license info

🔧 Development Mode

For development and testing, set the environment variable:

export QUANTUMMETA_DEV=1  # Unix/Linux/macOS
set QUANTUMMETA_DEV=1     # Windows

This bypasses license checks entirely.

📁 License Storage

Licenses are stored in:

• Windows: %USERPROFILE%\.quantummeta\licenses\
• macOS: ~/.quantummeta/licenses/
• Linux: ~/.quantummeta/licenses/

Usage tracking is stored in:

• ~/.quantummeta/usage_log.json

🧠 Package Integration

To integrate QuantumMeta License into your package:

from quantummeta_license import validate_or_grace, LicenseError

def __init_license():
    """Call this in your package's __init__.py"""
    try:
        validate_or_grace("your-package-name")
    except LicenseError as e:
        print(f"License Error: {e}")
        # Handle license error appropriately

# Call on package import
__init_license()
