PeerCache™ Licensing Overview
PeerCache™ is a proprietary software solution licensed exclusively through Joltid. Multiple licensing options are available to accommodate different deployment environments, traffic volumes, and operational requirements.
Licensing models may vary based on:
- License duration
- Bandwidth capacity served by the cache
- Number of deployments
- Supported peer-to-peer protocols
- Enterprise or ISP-scale requirements
For detailed licensing information and pricing options, please contact Joltid sales support.
Protocol Licensing
Certain proprietary peer-to-peer protocols may require additional licensing agreements for caching support.
For protocol-specific licensing details and compatibility information, please contact the Joltid sales team directly.
License File Structure
Each PeerCache™ deployment uses a digitally signed license file to ensure authenticity, security, and proper system authorization.
The license file may contain the following information:
- Owner or organization name
- Authorized cache IP address(es)
- Approved client IP range(s)
- License expiration date
- Optional protocol support permissions
- Digital signature verification data
The digital signature protects the license file against unauthorized modification or tampering.
License Verification Process
PeerCache-compatible client applications automatically and transparently validate the license file during operation.
The client software verifies that:
- The active cache IP address matches the licensed IP
- The client IP falls within the authorized IP range
- The license has not expired
- The digital signature is valid and authentic
This validation process helps ensure secure and properly authorized PeerCache operation across supported networks.
PeerCache™ licensing is designed to provide secure, scalable, and flexible deployment management for enterprise and ISP network environments.
License Validation Failure
If any verification check fails, the client application will simply bypass the cache and continue normal communication directly with the original source.
This behavior ensures uninterrupted user connectivity while maintaining license compliance.
Firewall & NAT Compatibility
PeerCache™ fully supports environments using firewalls and Network Address Translation (NAT).
All compatible client applications can continue to access and utilize the cache successfully, even when devices are operating behind NAT or firewall-protected networks.
License File Size & IP Range Handling
PeerCache license files are highly flexible and do not have a strict internal size limitation.
In practice, license file size is constrained only by available system memory. However, Joltid recommends maintaining reasonably sized license files — typically under 10KB — to avoid generating unnecessary traffic during license validation processes.
