All components can be open‑sourced; the only proprietary piece is the JWT‑signing private key, which the vendor keeps secure. License Issued

SecureCRT requires a license to use. A valid license key enables full access to all features without limitations. The software offers a 30-day free trial, allowing users to evaluate its features before purchasing. Dashboard

A Git‑Hub‑backed licensing subsystem that lets anyone obtain a time‑limited, feature‑restricted license key by authenticating with their GitHub account. The system is:

| Aspect | How It Works | |--------|--------------| | Authentication | OAuth 2.0 → GitHub login (no password stored by the app) | | Eligibility | • Public‑repo contributors
• Students with verified .edu email
• Open‑source maintainers (≥ 5 merged PRs) | | License Payload | JSON Web Token (JWT) signed by the vendor, containing:
• User ID (GitHub login)
• Issue date & expiry (30 days, auto‑renewable)
• Feature flag set (e.g., “Basic Session Logging”, “No Scripting”) | | Distribution | The token is written to a GitHub Gist (private) that the client reads on launch. | | Renewal | Automatic background check every 24 h; if eligibility still holds, a new JWT is pushed to the same Gist. | | Revocation | Vendor can invalidate a token via a small “revocation list” stored in a public repo – the client checks this list on start‑up. |
