Per-domain perpetual licences for the Nano family of MIT-licensed PHP tools by Digital Fracture. This page covers both Nano CMS and Nano Cart - the licence model is identical for both products.
A perpetual, per-domain right to remove the "Powered by Nano [Product], Developed by Digital Fracture" footer attribution from the pages the Nano product renders on the licensed domain(s).
A licence for Nano CMS or Nano Cart themselves. Both products are free and open-source under the MIT licence. Anyone can download, use, modify, and deploy them without payment. This licence only removes the footer attribution from the specific Nano product you've purchased it for. The software stays free either way.
Each Nano product has its own separate licence. A Nano CMS licence will not remove the footer on a Nano Cart deployment, and vice versa. The two licences are independent purchases.
Your licence key is a cryptographic signature generated using Ed25519, the modern standard for digital signatures. When the Nano product renders a page, it checks the licence key against the embedded Digital Fracture public key and confirms the domain matches.
The check runs locally. There is no phone-home, no telemetry, and no server we maintain that could ever go down. Your site continues working forever, even if Digital Fracture itself disappears.
The whole verification adds about 50 microseconds per page load. You won't notice it.
Licences are issued manually within 24 hours of purchase, typically much faster. Most arrive within 1 to 2 hours during UK business hours. You'll receive an email containing your signed licence key and instructions for installing it through the Nano product admin or by direct config file edit.
Cryptographically signed licence generation cannot be fully automated yet. This ensures every licence is correctly issued and tied to the right domain, product, and customer.
If your licence hasn't arrived after 24 hours, please get in touch via the contact form.
The licence check is automatically skipped on localhost, 127.0.0.1, *.test, *.local, and any host with a port number. You can develop and test against your local copy of the Nano product without the footer appearing. The footer only renders on real production domains.
A licence is bound to the specific domain and product you provide at purchase. If you later move your site to a different domain - for example from a .co.uk to a .com - get in touch via the contact form and we'll re-issue the licence for the new domain at no charge. This is a courtesy not a guarantee, but we will accommodate reasonable domain changes.
The licence covers the bare domain and its www. variant (example.com and www.example.com). Subdomains like shop.example.com are separate licences.
We offer refunds within 14 days of purchase if the licence doesn't work as expected. Get in touch via the contact form with your licence ID and we'll process the refund. After 14 days, the licence is yours forever and no refunds apply.
Note that because licence keys remain cryptographically valid after refund (we have no revocation system in current versions), you agree not to use the refunded licence on your sites following the refund.
We rely on goodwill for the Unlimited tier. There's no technical restriction preventing misuse, but it would breach the licence terms.
Your licence continues working forever. The verification is local and cryptographic - it does not depend on any Digital Fracture infrastructure remaining online. Both Nano CMS and Nano Cart are open-source on GitHub and will remain available regardless.
Your investment in the licence is safe even in the worst case.
