License management

Day Shift licenses are signed JSON files verified locally. Normal CLI use does not require online activation after installation.

Install a license

Use the signed file delivered through the website-owned purchase or recovery flow:

day-shift license install <license-file>

The command installs the file into user-local license storage. Do not commit license files, reminder state, or state-directory overrides as repository configuration.

Inspect status without writing

day-shift license status --format json

The JSON report identifies the resolved license path, verification state, and reminder-policy diagnostics. For a one-off inspection, use --license-file <path> rather than changing configuration.

Clean managed reminders

After a suppressing license verifies successfully, preview cleanup of Day Shift-managed reminder regions:

day-shift license cleanup-reminders --dry-run

Review the proposed artifact edits, then rerun without --dry-run when they are correct.

Purchases, entitlement scope, signed-file delivery, and recovery remain on tnsds.tech. If local verification fails, continue with Troubleshooting.
