Licensing and Airgap
Licensing That Works Offline
Run ShadowCradle with the cloud, on its own, or fully air-gapped. The Airgap tier needs no internet connection at all.

Three Setup Modes
Cloud
Pair the appliance with the cloud for fleet management.
Standalone
Run the appliance on its own.
Airgap
No cloud connection. Licensing is by file.
The Airgap Tier
Licence file
A signed licence file is bound to the machine. Tiers are basic, pro and enterprise.
Offline extension
Extend a licence with a code you read over the phone.
Offline evidence bundle
Make a compliance bundle on the appliance and carry it out on removable media. It states that its trust is weaker than cloud evidence.
USB replication and seeds
Move backups between sites by USB, with encrypted offline seeds.
Gentle Enforcement
Grace period
The appliance keeps working during a grace period when it cannot reach the cloud.
Free fallback
Without a valid licence the appliance falls back to a small free limit.
