// licensing

Flexible licensing.

Two tiers of functionality — only pay for the features you'll use.

Flex Licensing

Our flex licensing allows the license to be shared among team members working on internet-connected PCs. Perfect for teams that need flexible access across multiple developers.

  • Shared among team members
  • Internet connection required
  • No license server setup required
  • Works with any Saleae Logic device

Node-Locked Licensing

Node-locked licenses work on computers without internet access, with no tedious license-server setup required. Ideal for secure or isolated development environments.

  • Locked to specific computer
  • No internet required
  • Works in secure environments
  • Works with any Saleae Logic device

// our edge

We don't just follow the I3C spec.

We don't watch from the sidelines. Plugfest after plugfest, our team is in the room where vendor I3C implementations come together — finding edge cases, debugging quirks, and validating real silicon against the spec.

// plugfest

4 years in a row at the MIPI I3C Plugfest.

We brought the analyzer to every I3C Plugfest since 2022 to confirm its performance against existing and upcoming I3C devices — the strongest proof that the analyzer reads real silicon correctly, not just spec-compliant captures.
