Installation questions

No, the download is open to everyone. To use Cockpit, activate it with a key from your dashboard. Your 7-day trial starts when you create your account, with no credit card required.

At least one AI connection: an existing account (Claude, ChatGPT through Codex, or Gemini through Antigravity) or an API key from a provider such as DeepSeek, Kimi, or OpenRouter.

Yes. The trial supports 1 computer during the trial; on Pro, up to 3; on Max, up to 10. Remove a computer in the dashboard whenever you need to free up a slot.

For cloud AI, yes. A local model running on your computer doesn't need one. The license is checked online periodically; if your connection drops, Cockpit stays unlocked for up to 7 days on Pro and 30 on Max, until it can check again, always within your paid period.

On your computer, in the folders you choose. Projects, conversations, and files never pass through the website: it only manages your account and license.
