Every clone is watermarked with a unique, per-buyer fingerprint and stamped with its origin, so a leaked or repackaged copy is traceable back to the account that shared it.
The durable protection is that the operational value, live spend tracking, drift detection, and AI-ready exports, stays tied to your Canopy entitlement rather than the static file. Verified-seller badges and DMCA takedowns back this up.
Copying can never be made physically impossible, but the aim is to make the original the only copy worth buying. See selling templates and buying templates.
