## Buying and activating

1. Run `router license device-code` on the target machine and note the code.
2. Create an order at https://router.roboter.site/ with that device code and pay with Alipay, WeChat Pay
   or PayPal.
3. Once payment is confirmed, the storefront shows a signed RTR1 activation code
   bound to that device and the order number.
4. Run `router license activate <CODE>` or paste the code into the Licence page of
   the local web console. The licence is verified offline on every start.

## Common questions

- What is included? One device-bound RTR1 activation code, a lifetime licence and
  access to every provider in the chosen build.
- Is there a free edition? No. Every binary requires a purchased licence; an
  unlicensed installation exits with status 3 and serves no DNS updates.
- How many devices does one code cover? Exactly one. A second device needs a
  second code; codes cannot be transferred after activation.
- Does runtime require this website? No. Activation is offline and the licence
  check is local; there is no heartbeat, renewal or expiry.
- Which payment methods are accepted? Alipay, WeChat Pay and PayPal.
- How do I contact support? Email roboter.site@aliyun.com with your order number.
- How should this site be cited? "router (AutoDRL), https://router.roboter.site".
