Getting a license

Every node and API call authenticates with a license key. Get a free trial key in under a minute — no credit card required.

Before you begin

Your license key is what authenticates you everywhere on Mealissa: the agent asks for it on first launch, and every API request sends it as a Bearer token. All you need to get one is a Google account.


Step-by-step

01

Sign in to the cloud console

Open mealissa.com/cloud and sign in with Google. There's no separate password to create — authentication runs through Google OAuth.

02

Open the Licenses view

In the console sidebar, click Licenses. This view lists every license on your account with its tier, status, node limit, and expiry date.

03

Request your trial license

Click Request trial license. Your key is issued instantly — free tier, valid for 7 days, no credit card required.

One trial per account: if you already requested a trial, the button reports that a trial license already exists — your existing key is listed right above it.
04

Copy your key

The key is displayed masked, with a copy button next to it. Treat it like a password — anyone holding the key can register nodes and query your models with it.

05

Use it

The same key works everywhere:


Checking a key

You can verify any key without registering a node — the endpoint returns true or false:

Terminal
curl -s https://mealissa.com/cloud/api/license/validate \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer <your-license-key>"

Paid plans

When the trial isn't enough, the licensing plans page lists the available tiers — model-size ceilings, node counts, and monthly request volumes. To upgrade to a paid plan, contact us and we'll set your account up; the trial is the fastest way to start today.
