Service and content are separate
Basic hosted licence management is free. Publishers set content prices and receive payments directly. Custom integration and assistance are quoted separately.
Records and continuity
You can consult and export your requests and authorisations. AssetRouter signs its service records; you do not need a signing key. The record establishes the service decision, not delivery or use of the content.
The hosted base requires no backup installation in your infrastructure. Independent copies and an emergency replacement service are optional paid arrangements that must be prepared and tested in advance. Without that option, operation depends on AssetRouter availability.
Next step
Use the API reference for server integration. Standard self-service setup is free; custom integration and ongoing support are quoted separately.
The publisher retains its content and defines permitted uses. AssetRouter manages authorisation, not ownership of the content. Requests and records are restricted to the parties concerned. Payment processing and any associated fee are future options requiring separate agreement.
