## How does a Solo subscription work?

4Mata makes requests to the subscription server to confirm the validity of the subscription key provided by the user to activate the subscription.&#x20;

## How does a Pro subscription work?

When 4Mata starts, it requests a floating subscription from the subscription server. The subscription server checks the number of available subscriptions with itself; if it finds a free subscription, it leases it to your app for a specified amount of time.

After the leased time is over, 4Mata automatically sends a refresh request to the subscription server to extend the lease, and the process repeats itself. When your user is done using the app, it sends a request to free the subscription, thereby making it available for other users.

It should also generate a unique device fingerprint and send it along with the subscription activation request.&#x20;

The subscription server stores the device fingerprint and uses it to validate the subscription key for further activations to prevent the subscription key usage on other devices.
