List your desktop app on our store and it ships with real licensing built in: device-locked keys, one-time online activation then fully offline, and automatic revocation on refunds. The protection layer you'd otherwise build yourself or pay a licensing service for, handled by us.
Selling a downloadable app means the file can be copied. We put a real lock on it.
Each sale activates on a set number of the buyer's own machines. A copied installer won't run somewhere else without a valid activation.
Your buyer activates one time over the internet, then your app runs fully offline forever. No always-online requirement, no phone-home during real work.
If a buyer refunds or charges back, their license is revoked automatically. No more giving the product away to people who took their money back.
Nobody even gets your installer without paying first. The download link is issued only after a completed purchase.
Activation uses a hashed device fingerprint, not personal data. Your buyers' files never touch our servers, only the app you sell.
A small snippet in your app, or we help you wire it in. We run the licensing server, the keys, and the refunds side for you.
Most checkout tools hand you a key that doesn't actually lock anything. We run the whole layer.

No licensing on earth is 100% uncrackable, and we won't pretend otherwise. A determined attacker can attack any desktop app. What device-locked licensing does is stop the real problem: one buyer quietly sharing your app with a hundred people. That, plus a pay-gated download and refund revocation, stops the vast majority of casual piracy, the same standard the serious licensing services use.
The strongest protection is still the whole package: a paying customer gets the download, activation, updates, and support. A shared copy gets none of that.
Integration is a small snippet for most desktop apps. Some app types are easier to protect than others; tell us how your app is built and we'll be honest about what we can lock down.
List it once. We handle the store, the checkout, the download gate, and the licensing.
