# License Tiers

## Licensing & Activation

TempoWeave Studio uses a subscription-based licensing model. When you first install the application, it runs in Demo mode. After purchasing a subscription, you activate your license to unlock the features included with your tier.

### License Tiers

#### Demo

The free tier. You can open and view WIF files, explore the interface, and work with a draft — but you cannot save, export, or print your work. Demo mode is a great way to explore TempoWeave Studio before subscribing.

#### Lite

The entry-level subscription. Lite unlocks the ability to save, export, and print your work. All the core design tools are available — you can create and edit drafts, use Common Weaves, and access the full set of drawing and manipulation tools.

#### Core

The standard subscription tier. Core includes everything in Lite, plus additional design and planning tools for more productive weaving:

* Browse Drafts and Browse Patterns
* Color & Weave Explorer and AI Draft
* Design Repeats and Diagonal
* Add and Remove Tabby
* Turn Draft and Rotate Draft
* Yarn Catalog with Clear Palette, Export/Import Yarns
* 3D Interlacement and Cloth Simulation
* Cloud Share/Upload
* AI Assistant
* Warp Winding Plan and Weft Color Plan
* Reed Calculator and Raddle Calculator

#### Pro

The premium tier. Pro includes everything in Core, plus advanced tools for experienced weavers and complex projects:

* Section Marker, Section Assembly, and Block Substitution
* Treadle Reducer, Shaft Reducer, and Treadle Expander
* Arrange Treadles and Arrange Shafts
* Simplify Draft
* Echo, Warp Amalgamation, and Warp Spread
* Interleave Warp and Combine Weft
* Plot on Network (Warp and Weft)
