Overview

What VenLicense does.

VenLicense is the licensing layer for anyone selling software — desktop apps, plugins, SaaS, or firmware. Generate keys, enforce activation and device limits, run trials, and revoke access from a REST API instead of a database you have to build and secure yourself.

It handles the awkward parts: offline validation with signed tokens, floating licenses for teams, grace periods, and upgrades. You focus on the product; VenLicense tracks who is entitled to what.

Quick start

Up and running in minutes.

A single API call to get started. Full reference, SDKs, and webhooks in the docs.

import { VenLicense } from "@luxavero/venlicense";

const licensing = new VenLicense(process.env.VENLICENSE_API_KEY);

// Issue a license key with a 3-device limit
const license = await licensing.keys.create({
  product: "prod_pro",
  email: "[email protected]",
  deviceLimit: 3,
});

// Validate + activate on the customer's machine
const { valid } = await licensing.keys.validate({
  key: license.key,
  deviceId: "device-abc",
});

Features

Everything you need, nothing you don't.

Keys that fit your model

Perpetual, subscription, trial, or floating licenses, with per-key device and seat limits you set.

Offline validation

Signed activation tokens let apps verify a license without calling home on every launch.

Change without reissuing

Upgrade, downgrade, extend, or revoke a license live — the change applies on the next check.

See every activation

Track activations, devices, and usage per customer, with webhooks on every state change.
