What will you build with it?

I will use this key for non-commercial work, and I agree that usage counts for the key (tool calls, installs, versions — never my geometry or files) are reported to FeatureBoard Labs. I understand that free keys always report failures and have no off switch.

Free keys report failures. When NativeCAD fails, it sends what broke, the version, your key id, the kinds of input (never the values), and a small test case your computer builds from simple made-up shapes. Your models, files, names and coordinates are never sent. If you write a bug report yourself, file paths, file names, part, body and parameter names, engraved text and coordinates that match your geometry are removed first. The rest of what you typed is sent. After a failure, NativeCAD uses some of your computer's processor in the background to build the test case. Free keys have no off switch. Paid keys can turn failure reporting off with their licence. Turning it off also stops the background work.
