How to Activate a License

1

Purchase a License

Go to hicortex.gamaze.com and buy Pro or Team. You will receive a license key by email (e.g., hctx-abc123def456).

2

Tell Your Agent

Just say: "Here's my Hicortex key: hctx-abc123def456"

Your agent will automatically activate the key via the MCP tool.

3

Done

Your agent confirms activation. All existing memories are preserved — you just unlock more capacity.

Alternatively, add the key to your config file:

{
  "licenseKey": "hctx-abc123def456"
}

FAQ

What happens to my existing memories when I upgrade?

Nothing changes — all memories from your free tier are preserved. You just unlock the ability to store more.

Can I switch between tiers?

Yes. Upgrade or downgrade anytime from the billing portal. If you downgrade below your current memory count, existing memories are preserved but new ones will not be stored until you are under the limit.

What about multi-machine with Team tier?

Team tier unlocks init --server for connecting multiple client machines to a central server. All machines share a single memory pool with unlimited capacity.

How do I cancel?

Use the billing link in your license email, or contact support@gamaze.com. You keep access until the end of your billing period.

Do you offer refunds?

Yes — full refund within 14 days, no questions asked. See our Refund Policy.
