Getting Started

Create an Account on License Manager

To get started, create a free trial account on the License Manager web application to generate licenses. A valid email address will be used as your username, and a password will be sent via email to secure and verify your email address.

Create a Product

Every generated license will be linked to a specific product. After logging into the system, you can create a new product. Access rights can be defined for other users to form a licensing team.

Generate a License

Generate a product license by specifying both the product and the license type. The format and characters of the license key are fully customizable, allowing for the generation of license keys in various formats.

Activate License

To activate a license, perform a DNS TXT query to any recursive DNS server with DNSSEC enabled for security. For instructions on sending a query, refer to the DNS Query Information page.

Licenses can be activated programmatically using various DNS libraries or operating system commands to send queries and receive license data. In the screenshot, the Linux delv command is used to send a TXT query and retrieve the defined TXT features for the license. Notice that data signature is fully validated cryptographically.

Deactivate License

Deactivating a license releases it from the server, enabling activation on a different system. This process can be done either programmatically or through operating system commands.

In the screenshot, the Linux delv command is utilized to deactivate the license, and a successful, fully validated response is received. For instructions on sending a query, refer to the DNS Query Information page.
