License Key Hashing

How your license key is protected during network transmission.

Published May 30, 2026

SHA-256 Hash

When activating or checking a license, the thin client computes SHA-256(license_key) and sends only the hash to the server.

Never Transmit Plaintext

The raw license key is never sent over the network in plaintext form.

Local Storage

The raw key is stored in thin_config.json on your local machine. Protect this file with appropriate filesystem permissions.
