First run, owner and license

First owner profile

The first profile becomes the VaultPilot owner account. It is the account that manages users, licensing, security, and system settings.

Recommendations:

  • Use a unique and long master password.
  • Enable 2FA after the first unlock.
  • Keep at least two owner accounts for continuity.
  • Export an initial backup after setup.

License

VaultPilot uses offline license verification. The server verifies the license code with a public verification key; private signing material is never installed on customer servers.

The License screen shows:

  • Plan and customer information.
  • User capacity.
  • Remaining days.
  • Signature verification status.
  • Plan capabilities.

Trial and read-only

When trial or license time expires, read and backup-export access can remain available while writes, user creation, sharing, extension pairing, and update install actions are restricted.

Recovery pointers

Do not remove the last owner account. If a license expires or a replacement license fails verification, keep owner access available, export a backup if the UI permits it, and use the license read-only recovery path before changing capacity or users.
