What is the SoftwareKey System?
The SoftwareKey System is a turnkey solution that allows you to maintain control of your software for the entire lifecycle of the license.
At SoftwareKey, we have developed a 3-step approach to help you achieve your goals:
Protection
You want paying customers, not stolen software. Software protection service such as copy protection using our Protection PLUS licensing clients encourages honesty among honest people and protects against strategic theft.
Automation
Our central license server, SOLO Server Automation, automates the license distribution and activation process, and allows you to monitor usage of your software while easily managing your customers and licenses.

Support
We have found that it is easy to underestimate the level of detail involved in successfully launching and maintaining software license management, which is why we offer Professional Services options to supplement our standard support.
Product Activation and Licensing with Protection PLUS
Both Simple and Powerful Licensing Interfaces
Step-by-step guidance provided by our implementation wizards gets you up and running quickly and easily with your choice of software protection service from SoftwareKey System. You will be tapping into thousands of lines of licensing code with little or no source code changes.
Software Development Kits (SDKs) give your development team complete control and flexibility over the licensing business logic and user interface - their blank canvas. Application Program Interface (APIs) serve as their palette and paintbrush.
Wide Platform and Technology Support
Built by a team with over 25 years of licensing experience, our Software Development Kits support nearly all types of software on the widest array of platforms:
- .NET Edition (.NET Framework and .NET Standard supported)
- Native Edition for Windows
- Native Edition for macOS (Apple M1 supported)
- Native Edition for Linux
- Android Edition (ARM processors supported)
- Java Edition (Apple M1 and ARM processors supported)
- Linux Edition for ARM (Internet of Things (IoT) devices such as the Raspberry Pi)
SOLO Server Automation
Maintaining Control
Continually monitoring licenses is required to maximize the control over your software, and SoftwareKey Automation provides you that power.
Validation with the server allows you to securely enforce license deactivations and transfers, including remote deactivations. This can be fully automated, and your customers can use self-service features to transfer their own licenses.
License updates can be made on the server, such as a renewed subscription or upgraded license entitlements, and your software can "refresh" the license from the server to get this updated data.
If the end-user tries to block connection to the license server, your software can require a successful server validation before it is allowed to run, ensuring that you maintain the control over your software.
Each SoftwareKey System package is equipped with the same core features and is compatible with any of our Protection PLUS licensing clients. Sign up for a risk-free 30-day trial account now.
