License

Scout is commercial software. A valid license key is required to use the module.

Validation and usage tracking require an outbound HTTPS connection from the WSE host to license20.raskenlund.net (port 443).

To obtain a license, contact Raskenlund.

License tiers

Scout is available in three tiers. Each tier includes all features of the tiers below it.

Tier	Features included
Standard	CMSD-Static and CMSD-Dynamic header injection; H.264 SEI MQA ingest; MQA REST score ingest; Prometheus metrics export; webhook JSON export.
Integration	All Standard features, plus OpenTelemetry (OTLP) export and Kafka export.
Enterprise	All Integration features, plus quality alerting via webhook.

The resolved tier is logged at startup:

ModuleCmsdMqa: license valid, tier = STANDARD

Configuring the license key

Add the license key as a property in your application’s Application.xml:

<Property>
  <Name>raskenlund.scout.license</Name>
  <Value>YOUR-LICENSE-KEY</Value>
  <Type>String</Type>
</Property>

If this property is missing or blank, the module will fail to start with a clear error in the WSE log.

License validation is asynchronous. The module registers the CMSD hooks immediately but does not begin injecting headers or starting exporters until validation succeeds. If the host cannot reach license20.raskenlund.net, validation is retried automatically.
