LicenseDesk
Give your software a clear right to run.
LicenseDesk is a licensing service for teams selling SDKs and software. The goal is one place to define licence policies, manage activations, and support customers whose applications sometimes run offline.

Core capabilities
Built around the
work that matters.
Explore how LicenseDesk works, then talk with us about trial access for your workflow.
Trials and feature access
Offer a defined evaluation period and map licences to the capabilities your software exposes.
Activation management
A console can help support teams inspect activations and handle device changes.
Signed offline licences
Signed licence documents can support local validation within an explicit validity window.
How it works
A clear path from
setup to everyday use.
Describe your policy
Define the product capabilities, duration, and activation allowance for a licence.
Issue customer access
Generate a licence through the console or API and associate it with your customer record.
Validate and support
The integration can check access and give your team a place to review activation questions.
Architecture
How LicenseDesk
fits together.
A clear division between the product interface, processing layer, and the systems your team already owns.
01Policy service
Products, entitlements, durations, machine limits, and customer-specific rules.
02Validation SDK
Online checks and signed offline licence verification with a stable decision model.
03Support console
Search licences, inspect activations, revoke access, and record operator actions.
Technical profile
Built for integration,
not a closed box.
Trial onboarding confirms the exact environment, product boundary, and success criteria for your implementation.

Security & control
Deliberate boundaries
from the beginning.
- Private signing keys remain on the issuing service
- Offline documents carry a fixed expiry and customer scope
- Management API tokens are permission-scoped
- Every support-side licence change creates an audit event

SDK vendors
For companies licensing developer libraries to multiple customers and applications.
Desktop software teams
For paid applications that need activation policies and a considered offline experience.
Enterprise tool builders
For vendors negotiating customer-specific feature access and deployment arrangements.

A few answers
Explore with confidence.
A closer look at the scope and trial experience for LicenseDesk.
How can I try LicenseDesk?
LicenseDesk is available through a guided trial. Tell us about your requirements, platform, and evaluation goals; our team will discuss fit, access, and the right trial scope with you.
Could I revoke a licence on a disconnected device?
A disconnected device cannot receive an immediate revocation. The design enforces expiry locally and receives revocation updates on reconnection. Offline validity periods need to match your business requirements.
Can LicenseDesk process customer payments?
Payment collection is outside the initial scope. The service can manage software access and could be connected to your existing billing workflow.
