Introducing Licentio — License Management for Independent Developers
We built Licentio to solve a problem we faced ourselves: how to protect and manage software licenses without complexity or high costs.
As independent developers, we know the frustration. You spend months building a great product, and then you have to figure out how to protect it. License management tools are either too expensive, too complex, or designed for large enterprises — not for developers like us.
That's why we built Licentio.
What is Licentio?
Licentio is a License-as-a-Service platform designed for independent developers and small software houses. It lets you manage licenses for all your products from a single dashboard, with a simple REST API that integrates with any language or framework.
Key Features
- Flexible license types — perpetual, expiry date, max executions, max records, trial days and more
- Real-time activity map — see where your software is being used around the world
- AI-powered alerts — create alerts in plain language, no configuration needed
- Offline support — your clients can work without internet for up to 7 days
- Simple REST API — one call to validate a license, works with WinDev, Clarion, Flutter, Python and more
How it works
When your client installs your software, a small configuration file (licentio.ini) is included with their unique credentials. At startup, your application makes a single API call to Licentio:
POST https://licentio.dev/validate
{
"program_id": "your-program-id",
"client_id": "your-client-id",
"api_key": "your-api-key",
"machine_id": "client-machine-name"
}
Licentio responds with the license status, any warnings (expiring soon, execution limit approaching), and the license type. Your application decides what to do based on the response.
