Licensing
Hecttor SDKs are commercial software distributed under license. This page covers what licenses are available and how to start an evaluation.
License types
Hecttor offers licenses tailored to how you intend to deploy the SDK. Specific connectivity, telemetry, and data-handling requirements vary by license type and environment; the right answer for your team depends on what you're building and where it runs. Talk to us about your deployment before integration so we can recommend the right configuration.
Evaluation access
Evaluation licenses let your team validate the SDK against real audio and real pipelines before committing. An evaluation includes:
- An SDK key tied to your evaluation period.
- Access to the SDK build matching your target platform and runtime.
- Documentation for the models you're evaluating.
- Direct contact with our team for integration questions.
To request evaluation access, see Request access below.
Production licensing
Production licenses are issued after evaluation. They cover:
- Production SDK keys.
- Service-level commitments aligned with your deployment.
- Defined upgrade and support cadence.
- Deployment options matched to your security and data-handling requirements.
We work with each team to define the right license shape. Pricing, term, deployment model, and data handling are scoped to your use case rather than a one-size catalog.
Key handling
SDK keys are bearer credentials. Treat them like any other secret in your stack:
- Never embed keys in client-side code, mobile bundles, or anything you ship to end-user devices.
- Never commit keys to version control. Read them from environment variables or your secret manager at runtime.
- Rotate keys when they may have been exposed.
Request access
Public access requests, evaluation onboarding, and license questions all start with the same form on our website. We'll match you with the right SDK (Hermes, Orpheus, or both) and the right license type for your deployment.
