FossilCore Free Personal — Coming Soon · USD $0
Free Personal does not require registration, an online account or a license key. It is not a 30-day demo and not a 100-specimen trial. It is the personal edition of FossilCore and provides the core specimen, Site, taxonomy, image, map, catalogue, label and Collection Explorer capabilities defined for personal use.
FossilCore PRO — Coming Soon · USD $49 one-time
PRO is the planned paid advanced personal edition for serious collectors and professionals. When released, the production licensing flow can use Lemon Squeezy to issue a license key that activates PRO in FossilCore.
FossilCore Institutional — Coming Soon
Institutional includes PRO capabilities plus organization-oriented user, shared-storage, environment-backup and migration administration. The planned prices are USD $149/year or USD $499 perpetual. The perpetual license is a one-time purchase; optional annual updates/support may be purchased after the first year.
Offline behavior
After successful paid activation, FossilCore stores protected local activation information. It does not need to contact the license service on every launch. Periodic validation can occur when due; a temporary network failure does not immediately remove a previously valid paid edition.
License Management
The License Management window is designed to show the active edition and provider, protected license identity, computer/installation information, activation and verification dates, and the actions appropriate to the selected licensing provider.
Edition changes and data
FossilCore licensing controls capabilities, not ownership of Collection data. A lower edition does not delete specimen records created while a higher edition was active. Depending on the feature, advanced data may remain editable, become read-only, or simply remain stored while the tool that created it is unavailable.
