* fix(licensing): resolve Admiral variant detection and lifetime license handling The Lemon Squeezy variant name for Admiral licenses contains "Admiral" (not "Team"), but getVariant() only checked for "team" and "personal". This caused Admiral licenses to be misidentified as Skipper, locking all Admiral-exclusive features. - Map "admiral" variant names to internal "team" value, "skipper" to "personal" - Add isLifetime field to LicenseInfo API response - Hide "Manage Subscription" button for lifetime licenses (no billing portal) - Show "Duration: Lifetime" instead of empty renewal date - Hide upgrade cards for active Admiral users - Add 23 unit tests covering variant resolution, tier computation, and lifetime detection - Add troubleshooting entries for wrong tier label, locked features, and billing portal errors * fix(licensing): address code review findings - Fix nested ternary in LicenseSection JSX; restore conditional rendering to avoid showing an empty "N/A" row for non-subscription states - Clean up test file: use shared svc variable, remove redundant comments, add trialDaysRemaining assertions, rename describe block

Sencho uses an open-core model. The **Community** tier is free forever with unlimited nodes. Paid tiers unlock advanced features: **Skipper** for solo operators and **Admiral** for teams.
|
|
|
|
<Tip>
|
|
*Our tier names are inspired by the meaning of Sencho (船長), because you're the captain of your container fleet.*
|
|

## Plans
|
|
|
|
| Tier | Price | Accounts |
|
|
|------|-------|----------|
|
|
| **Community** | Free | 1 admin |
|
|
| **Skipper** | $5.99/month billed annually, $7.99/month, or $249 lifetime | 1 admin + 3 viewers |
|
|
| **Admiral** | $41.99/month billed annually, $49.99/month, or $1,499 lifetime | Unlimited |
|
|
|
|
Lifetime pricing is an early-adopter offer available for a limited time only.
|
|
|
|
### Feature breakdown
|
|
|
|
**Skipper** includes everything in Community, plus:
|
|
- Fleet View with drill-down
|
|
- Webhooks and stack labels
|
|
- Atomic deployments and fleet-wide backups
|
|
- Auto-update policies
|
|
|
|
**Admiral** includes everything in Skipper, plus:
|
|
- Unlimited admin and viewer accounts
|
|
- Scoped RBAC (deployer, node-admin, auditor roles)
|
|
- SSO, audit log, and host console
|
|
- API tokens and private registries
|
|
- Notification routing
|
|
- Scheduled operations
|
|
|
|
## Free trial
|
|
|
|
Every new Sencho installation starts with a **14-day Skipper trial**. No license key or credit card is required. Skipper features like fleet management, webhooks, atomic deployments, and auto-update policies are unlocked during the trial so you can evaluate them with your real infrastructure. Admiral-exclusive features (SSO, audit log, host console, scoped RBAC, unlimited accounts) require an Admiral license.
|
|
|
|
When the trial expires, Sencho automatically reverts to the Community tier. No data is lost.
|
|
|
|
## Upgrading your plan
|
|
|
|
You can upgrade directly from **Settings > License** in your Sencho dashboard. The upgrade cards shown depend on your current tier:
|
|
|
|
- **Community users** see both **Skipper** and **Admiral** options with feature highlights and direct checkout links.
|
|
- **Skipper users** see an **Admiral** upgrade card for when you need unlimited accounts and team features.
|
|
- **Admiral users** are on the highest tier, so no upgrade cards are shown.
|
|
|
|
Clicking an upgrade button opens the Lemon Squeezy checkout in a new tab. After completing the purchase, you will receive a license key by email.

|
## Activating your license
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Settings > License** in your Sencho dashboard.
|
|
2. Paste your key into the **License Key** field at the bottom of the page.
|
|
3. Click **Activate**.
|
|
|
|
Sencho validates the key against Lemon Squeezy and unlocks your tier's features immediately.
|
|
|
|
## License validation
|
|
|
|
Active licenses are re-validated every **72 hours** against the Lemon Squeezy API. If your instance goes offline, there is a **30-day grace period** before it degrades to the Community tier.
|
|
|
|
## Managing your subscription
|
|
|
|
Once your license is active, you can manage your subscription in two ways:
|
|
|
|
- **From the License page:** Go to **Settings > License** and click **Manage Subscription**. This opens the Lemon Squeezy billing portal where you can update your payment method, view invoices, cancel, or switch plans.
|
|
- **From the profile menu:** Click your profile icon in the top bar and select **Billing** for quick access to the same portal.

|
|
|
|
### Lifetime licenses
|
|
|
|
Lifetime licenses do not have a recurring subscription, so the **Manage Subscription** button is not shown. Instead, the license card displays **Duration: Lifetime** to confirm your license never expires. All other features (deactivation, multi-node enforcement, validation) work the same as subscription licenses.
|
|
|
|
## Multi-node license enforcement
|
|
|
|
If you manage multiple servers through Sencho's [multi-node feature](/features/multi-node), you only need a license on your **primary instance**. All remote nodes automatically inherit the primary's license tier for proxied requests. No per-node activation is required.
|
|
|
|
For details on how this works, see [License enforcement across nodes](/features/multi-node#license-enforcement-across-nodes).
|
|
|
|
## Deactivating a license
|
|
|
|
To transfer your license to a different instance:
|
|
|
|
1. Go to **Settings > License**.
|
|
2. Click **Deactivate License**.
|
|
3. On your new instance, activate the same license key.
|
|
|
|
Deactivation reverts the current instance to the Community tier immediately.
