Features

LicenseDNS redefines software licensing by uniquely leveraging its pioneering DNS-based mechanism. We've seamlessly integrated the essential features you expect from conventional and cloud-based licensing platforms, while simultaneously delivering advanced capabilities that are simply not available elsewhere. Experience a new era of licensing that combines familiarity with groundbreaking innovation.

Broad Compatibility

LicenseDNS offers unparalleled compatibility across your entire development ecosystem. We confidently support every programming language and operating system imaginable, including major platforms like Android and iOS. This expansive reach is no accident; it's by design, leveraging the universal availability of DNS query libraries and native OS commands. You can build on any platform, using any language, and LicenseDNS seamlessly integrates to secure and manage your software.

Ease of Implementation

LicenseDNS redefines license integration, freeing developers from cryptographic complexities. You no longer need to wrestle with intricate algorithms or build custom verification logic. By simply using standard DNS queries, integration becomes remarkably straightforward. Every license response you receive is already cryptographically signed and verified by DNS servers, powered by DNSSEC. This completely eliminates the need for burdensome in-house implementations, allowing your team to focus on innovation, not cryptographic overhead.

Enhanced Security

LicenseDNS delivers unparalleled license verification security by leveraging the inherent power of DNSSEC. This isn't just about secure data; it's about absolute trust. DNSSEC cryptographically signs DNS data, guaranteeing the authenticity and integrity of every license verification. With LicenseDNS, you can be confident that your licenses are genuinely validated, every single time.

License Use Monitoring

LicenseDNS provides effortless, real-time monitoring of all license activity. Our intuitive web-based management system offers complete visibility into every license's status, whether activated or deactivated. You'll have immediate access to comprehensive details on each usage instance, empowering you with granular control and invaluable insights into your software's deployment.

Lightweight Overhead

LicenseDNS is engineered for efficiency. By leveraging the inherent speed and efficiency of standard DNS queries, our solution achieves remarkably lightweight overhead. We eliminate the need for complex, resource-intensive cryptographic verification processes within your software, significantly minimizing any performance impact. This ensures your applications run at peak performance while benefiting from robust, secure licensing.

Flexible License Binding

LicenseDNS offers unparalleled flexibility in license binding. You can generate any hardware fingerprint or leverage any user or system property to precisely link licenses. This robust capability ensures your software is securely bound to its intended environment, providing you with adaptable and reliable control over your licensing strategy.

Simplified Management

Our intuitive web-based License Manager delivers unparalleled control directly to software vendors. Engineered for ultimate ease of use, its streamlined interface simplifies every aspect of managing and monitoring your software licenses. Gain complete visibility and effortless command over usage, ensuring optimal control and maximizing efficiency across your entire deployed software base.

Network Connectivity

LicenseDNS leverages the inherent accessibility of DNS, making software licensing remarkably straightforward. A simple DNS query is all that's required for verification, and this query can be sent to any standard DNS server. This fundamental design ensures that LicenseDNS operates effectively even within highly restrictive network environments, where traditional licensing protocols often face significant challenges. With DNS communication almost universally permitted, LicenseDNS offers a reliable and unhindered path to license validation.

Reduced Complexity

LicenseDNS fundamentally simplifies your software's architecture. By offloading the entire license verification process to robust DNS servers, your application's codebase becomes inherently less complex. This not only reduces development overhead but also significantly mitigates the risk of vulnerabilities commonly associated with intricate in-house licensing code. Focus on your core product; LicenseDNS ensures secure, streamlined operations in the background.

Licensing Models

LicenseDNS empowers you to implement a full spectrum of licensing models with complete flexibility. Through our highly adaptable license feature definitions, you can seamlessly support and manage everything from node-locked, floating, and perpetual licenses to trial and subscription-based models. This versatility ensures LicenseDNS aligns perfectly with your specific business strategies and diverse customer requirements.

Custom License Key Format

LicenseDNS offers unparalleled flexibility in defining license key formats. You have the complete freedom to establish any desired key structure, even unique handwritten variants. This extensive customization capability not only powerfully supports your branding initiatives but also significantly streamlines the categorization and management of your licenses.

Team of License Manager People

The LicenseDNS web-based license manager is engineered to empower your team of license administrators with granular access control. This critical feature allows organizations to precisely define specific permissions for each team member, ensuring secure, efficient, and highly controlled management of all software licenses. Delegate responsibilities with confidence, knowing your licensing operations are both protected and optimized.
