After checkout

Your license key lives in Polar.

If you landed here after checkout, your Fob license has been created through Polar. Check the Polar receipt or customer portal for a key beginning with FOB_.

Keep the key private. It activates your local Fob install and caches access for offline work.

License checks do not read your project.

Fob license validation should only send license metadata, app version, platform, and an anonymous local device id. It should not send your code, screenshots, prompts, AI answers, or local Fob project memory.
