Guide to Licensing and Activation

Masterful is not open source software, but a license is granted at no charge for personal and academic use, and for commercial evaluation. To use Masterful for commercial production purposes, namely deploying the models trained by Masterful into production, you’ll need a commercial agreement with Masterful. See the pricing page for more details.

License Keys

Whether you are using Masterful in a personal, academic, or commercial setting, you’ll need to register for a key after 30 days to continue using Masterful. See the registration page to register.

Activating a License Key.
