Offline License Activation

Request your GhostVault license.

GhostVault uses an offline license-file activation process so the software can remain private, local-first, and free from an always-online account requirement.

After purchase, install GhostVault, generate a license request file from inside the application, and email that file for manual review. Your signed license file will be returned by email.
