01 · Issued on payment
A signed key, the moment an order is paid.
Every paid order mints a license key, emails it to the buyer and saves it to the order.
For WooCommerce, WordPress, Shopify, SaaS and JUCE
Signed licenses for
every demo and sale.
A signed, device-locked key for every sale and every demo. Refunds revoke it automatically.
Free to start, no time limit. Selling on Shopify? Get the Shopify app.
Features
Licensing that runs itself.
From the moment an order is paid to the day a refund lands, nothing in the loop needs a person.
02 · Revoked automatically
Refund the order. The key goes with it.
A refund marks the key revoked, so it stops working with no manual cleanup.
03 · Verified offline
Checked on the device. No connection.
The signed key is verified on the customer's machine, so it works with no network.
04 · Device limits
Each activation is bound to one machine.
Set a limit per product. A fourth device is turned away, and the buyer releases one to make room.
05 · Buyer self-service
Buyers free up a device themselves.
A My Licenses page shows every key and lets the buyer release a device.
06 · Support tools
One click to fix a customer's day.
Release a seat or grant an extra activation straight from the order.
Platform agnostic
Switch stores. Keep every license.
A license belongs to your product, not to the store that sold it. Start on WooCommerce and move to Shopify later, or the other way around, and every key you have already issued keeps working.
Your customers change nothing
Keys already in customers' hands stay valid. There is nothing to reinstall, re-enter or buy again.
Your software changes nothing
Your plugin or app only ever talks to the license service. It sees a key and the API, so it cannot tell which store made the sale.
Sell on both at once
Run a WooCommerce store and a Shopify store side by side. Both issue keys from one account, for the same product.
Adding the second store takes one step: link its product to the one you already have. The Shopify app matches them by SKU, and asks you once if it cannot tell.
Audio plugins
Easy JUCE integration.
A drop-in licensing kit for JUCE plugins and standalone apps. Add it with CMake, fill in a short config, and you get a finished activation screen, a free demo period, and license checks that work offline.
CMake, no Projucer step
Link one imported target. Releases are pinned to an exact version.
A finished activation screen
Activate, start a demo, name the device and manage seats in one ready-made component. Re-skin it to match your plugin.
Stays off the audio thread
Your
processBlockonly reads a flag. All license checking runs on the message thread.Bound to the machine
Signed licenses are checked on the device, tied to one machine, and protected against clock rollback.

}Update notifications
Tell customers when a new version ships.
Publish a release from the WooCommerce plugin or the Shopify app. Everyone running your plugin or app sees a notice inside it, with your release notes and a link to the right download for their platform.
Version 1.4.0 is availableImproved preset loading and faster startup.
Inside your software
A ready-made banner for JUCE plugins, and a single call in the SDK for other apps. It never blocks use.
Signed, so it can be trusted
Every notice is signed with your own key and verified before it is shown, so no one can point your customers at a fake update.
Notes and the right download
Add release notes, mark a release important, and give a link for each platform.
Beta and stable channels
Send a beta to your testers without bothering everyone else.
Skip this version
Customers can dismiss a release. The next one still reaches them.
A banner and an email
Customers see the notice inside your software, and you can email everyone who owns it. Both come from the same release.
Notices travel with the license check, so there is nothing extra to run, and a failed check never locks anyone out. They link to your download page or installer and never install anything on their own.
Version adoption
See who is on which version, then tell them.
The Releases page lists every version in the field with its device count and share, so you know how many customers are still on an old build before you retire it. In the Shopify app, you can then email everyone who owns the product from the same page.
Adoption at a glance
Licensed devices per version, as a count and a share, as of their last license check. Devices that have not reported a version are listed as Unknown. In the WooCommerce plugin and the Shopify app.
One email to every owner
Send the announcement to everyone who owns the product, including buyers who never joined your marketing list. It covers what changed, where to download, and where to find their license. In the Shopify app.
Careful by design
You see the recipient count first and can send yourself a test. Sending takes a typed confirmation, each release is emailed once, and anyone who unsubscribed or opted out is left out. Every email carries an unsubscribe link.
