Your License Keys, Your Control.
The offline-first licensing system for software vendors. Sign activation codes, validate them, manage trials, renewals and revocations — without sending your license keys to any server. 100% offline signing — no cloud dependency for signing or license management.

Why LicenseDesktop
A complete licensing toolkit that stays under your control — keys are signed on your machine, not in the cloud.
100% Offline Signing
Never leak your master keys to a third-party server. Activation codes are signed locally on your machine — your keys stay yours.
Tiered Editions
Manage edition tiers for the software you license — Basic, Professional, and Enterprise with per-feature gating. No code changes needed to upgrade users.
Complete License Lifecycle
Issue, verify, extend and re-host licenses in a few clicks. Trials and expiry downgrade are built in. Revoke available in Professional and above.
Online Purchase
Buy a license right inside the app — Alipay (CNY) or international credit cards (USD). Clear pricing, instant activation.
Automatic Updates
Stay current without lifting a finger. New versions are delivered automatically, and you can always download updates manually if needed.
Automatic Backups
Sleep easy. Automatic local backups with optional encrypted off-site backup and restore — your data is never locked in.
