Licensing

Relyagent supports two license types with full feature parity, differing only in update eligibility and duration models.

What is MCP?

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI assistants call external tools. Relyagent turns your WHMCS into one of those tool providers.

The two license types

Type	What you get	Updates
Leased	Works while the license is active.	Updates included for as long as it stays active.
Lifetime	Perpetual use of the installed version — you own it forever.	Newer versions need an active Support & Updates plan.

The license-gated feature

The MCP server component is license-gated:

• Inactive license behavior: endpoints return HTTP 403 Forbidden.
• Client impact: AI clients cannot establish connections or execute tools until an active key is present.

License checks execute locally via background caching:

• Outage resilience: temporary licensing server downtime does not disrupt active client sessions.
• Key renewal: updating or renewing your license key instantly restores MCP endpoint access.

Where to enter and manage your key

Go to Addons → Relyagent → Settings → License.

Addons → Relyagent → Settings → License

• Status view: displays the current license type and Support & Updates expiration date (Lifetime).
• Key entry: paste your license key (formatted as Leased-XXXXXXXXXX or Lifetime-XXXXXXXXXX) and save.
• Unlicensed state: displays a No License Configured alert until activated.
