Requirements

Verify the prerequisites below before installing RelyAI for AcelleMail.

Server and software

Requirement	Minimum
AcelleMail	4.0.24 or newer
PHP	8.2 or newer (runs on 8.2, 8.3, 8.4 and 8.5)
ionCube Loader	13.0.2 or newer (see below)
An AI provider	An OpenAI or Anthropic API key, or a self-hosted / Ollama Cloud endpoint
Outbound HTTPS	To your AI provider and to relyweb.co for licensing and updates
License	An active RelyAI license

RelyAI distribution packages are encoded with ionCube:

Version required: ionCube Loader 13.0.2 or newer matching your PHP runtime.
AcelleMail compatibility: Uses the same loader extension required by AcelleMail core.
Single build: A unified build runs across PHP 8.2, 8.3, 8.4, and 8.5 without separate packages.

ionCube Loader required

RelyAI cannot execute without the ionCube Loader.

Symptom: Plugin fails to load or shows a fatal encoding error upon activation.
Fix: Enable ionCube Loader 13.0.2+ in your PHP configuration and restart your web server.

AI features require external intelligence and domain validation:

AI provider: Connect an OpenAI or Anthropic API key, or an Ollama endpoint. Self-hosted Ollama models incur zero per-token cost; cloud providers bill directly.
License gate: All AI operations require an Active domain-bound license key. See Licensing.

AcelleMail version: Check your AcelleMail admin area's About/version display.
PHP & ionCube: Review phpinfo() or run php -v to verify PHP 8.2+ and ionCube Loader 13.0.2+.
Outbound HTTPS: Verify firewall rules allow outbound traffic to provider endpoints and relyweb.co.
API credentials: Have your OpenAI, Anthropic, or Ollama endpoint details ready.
