Issued on payment
Every paid order mints a signed license key, emails it to the buyer, and saves it to the order.
For Shopify, WooCommerce and JUCE
Signed license keys for every paid order.
The moment an order is paid, your customer receives a cryptographically signed, device-locked license key. Refunds, cancellations and chargebacks revoke it automatically. Add it to a JUCE plugin in minutes, and tell customers about every new version from inside your software.
Free to start. 14-day trial on paid plans.

Licensing that runs itself.
Revoked automatically
Refunds, cancellations and chargebacks revoke the key. No manual cleanup.

Device limits
Set a device limit per product. Each activation is bound to a single machine.
Buyer self-service
A My Licenses page in the customer account shows every key and lets buyers release a device.
Support tools
An order panel lets your team release a seat or grant an extra activation in one click.
Audio plugins
Easy JUCE integration.
A drop-in licensing kit for JUCE plugins and standalone apps. Add it with CMake, fill in a short config, and you get a finished activation screen, a free demo period, and license checks that work offline.
CMake, no Projucer step
Link one imported target. Releases are pinned to an exact version.
A finished activation screen
Activate, start a demo, name the device and manage seats in one ready-made component. Re-skin it to match your plugin.
Stays off the audio thread
Your
processBlockonly reads a flag. All license checking runs on the message thread.Bound to the machine
Signed licenses are checked on the device, tied to one machine, and protected against clock rollback.

WaveformLicensing::WaveformLicensing)Update notifications
Tell customers when a new version ships.
Publish a release from the Shopify app or the WooCommerce plugin. Everyone running your plugin or app sees a notice inside it, with your release notes and a link to the right download for their platform.
Version 1.4.0 is availableImproved preset loading and faster startup.
Inside your software
A ready-made banner for JUCE plugins, and a single call in the SDK for other apps. It never blocks use.
Signed, so it can be trusted
Every notice is signed with your own key and verified before it is shown, so no one can point your customers at a fake update.
Notes and the right download
Add release notes, mark a release important, and give a link for each platform.
Beta and stable channels
Send a beta to your testers without bothering everyone else.
Skip this version
Customers can dismiss a release. The next one still reaches them.
See who is on what
Your Releases page shows how many installs run each version.
Notices travel with the license check, so there is nothing extra to run, and a failed check never locks anyone out. They link to your download page or installer and never install anything on their own.
