Offline License Verification

Cryptographically signed JWT keys allow your desktop, web, or embedded software to verify user licenses reliably even offline.

Device Activation & Locking

Developer-First APIs & SDKs

Simple REST API endpoints and lightweight client libraries make adding licensing to any software stack a breeze.
