# QECTOR Licensing
Source of authority: v1.0.0 reference manual, chapter 18, plus the
license-resolution order and the deploy-time env variables in
section 18.1.
## The three tiers (manual 18.1, Table 18.1)
| Tier | Max distance | GPU batch | Notes |
| ----------- | ------------ | --------- | ------------------------------------- |
| Community | d <= 7 | No | Free, source-available wheel |
| Pro | d <= 19 | No | Ed25519-signed token |
| Enterprise | d <= 63 | Yes | Ed25519-signed token; GPU / GNN paths |
Tiers are **enforced by the Rust core** at construction and decode
time. Tokens are verified **offline in the Rust core** with
Ed25519, covering the v2 format and the `QECT-PRO-` / `QECT-ENT-`
prefixed formats, with expiry and an offline revocation list.

| `~/.qector/license.key` | Default key location |
| `QECTOR_ENFORCE` | `1` raises `PermissionE
