Protection & Licensing

Licensing that holds up, and stays out of the way.

Licensing has two failure modes. One is being trivially removed. The other is punishing paying customers on the day their internet is down. Most schemes solve the first by making the second worse.

We build activation and licensing that runs quietly for legitimate users and is expensive to defeat, then wire it to whatever handles your sales.

What the work involves

Activation and device binding

Machine-bound licences with a seat count you set, offline grace periods, and a deactivation path that a customer can use without writing to support.

Anti-tamper that degrades correctly

Where it suits the product, licence material takes part in the processing itself, so a defeated check produces a product that no longer works properly rather than a free one.

Trials and models

Time-limited trials, feature-limited versions, subscriptions, perpetual licences with a support window, education pricing, and bundles. The model is a commercial decision and the system should not narrow it.

Store integration

Connected to your existing storefront and payment provider, so a purchase issues a licence and a refund revokes it without manual work.

What you get

  • An activation service, hosted by you or by us
  • Client-side licensing integrated into your product
  • A customer-facing account and deactivation flow
  • Store and payment integration, with issue and revoke wired up
  • A written account of the threat model and what each measure covers

Questions

Will this stop piracy?

No system does. The goal is to make defeating it cost more effort than it returns, and to keep honest customers unbothered. We will be direct about what a given measure buys you.

Does the plugin need an internet connection to run?

No. Activation needs one once. After that the licence is local, with a grace period you choose.

Can this work with the store we already use?

Yes. We integrate with the storefront and payment provider you have rather than asking you to move.
