How does the subscription model work?

Digital Steel operates as a continuous Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). Upon authorization, you receive a cryptographic Network API Token tied to your specific tier (Personal, Campus, or Enterprise). Standalone architectural blueprints in the vault may still be procured as one-time deployments, but the core Shadow Sentinel platform requires an active subscription.

What happens if my subscription lapses?

The Shadow Sentinel endpoint agents ping our Multi-Tenant Gateway continuously for authorization. If your subscription is terminated or billing fails, the cryptographic license is automatically revoked. The endpoint agents will autonomously self-terminate (Poison Pill protocol) to protect the integrity of the network.
