shc license activate

activate a license (broker domain-callback or offline file)

Synopsis

Activate this estate’s SHC EE license.

DEFAULT (keyless, internet-facing estates): run it with no arguments. The daemon identifies by its serving domain, the vendor’s license broker — whose location is compiled into this binary — dual-verifies domain control (public DNS + the estate’s browser-valid public-CA cert + a nonce echo) and returns a signed, domain-bound license. Requires the estate publicly reachable at its domain on a production (non-staging) certificate. --broker <url> overrides the vendor for this one activation; it does not change where the estate renews.

FALLBACK (airgapped estates, founder bootstrap): pass a vendor-signed license FILE. The daemon verifies the Ed25519 signature against the embedded key and the domain binding, stores it, and re-resolves entitlements. Both paths end fully offline.
