Offline License Verification

What is Offline License Verification?

Offline License Verification is a software licensing use case where a company implements software licensing in an offline setting, making sure that licensing still works when their customers use a software application without internet access. The way to implement offline license verifications depends on whether you expect the customer to run an application permanently or temporarily offline. If you believe the customer will run the application offline most of the time, an on-premise license server can be set up. Then, you allow one computer to have internet access. The machines without internet access will contact that computer for license verification. That way, the licenses can still be tracked and managed, and you make sure that the customer always has access to their product in a secure way.

If you want to implement offline license verifications, Cryptolens can help you out. We offer an easy-to-use Licensing as a Service (LaaS) platform. Our comprehensive documentation page makes it easy to implement our system. You can find more information about setting up offline licenses here. Using our platform, you can license any application. Desktop applications, plugins, SDKs, IoTs, and more!

Getting started with our software licensing system can be done on our Free pricing plan. You only have to pay for licensing when you are fully implemented and have customers of your own. For more information, please check out our pricing page.

On-Premise License Server

What is an On-Premise License Server?

An On-Premise License Server is a software licensing method where a company allows its software application to run even without internet access. Instead of calling a LaaS provider’s server, the customer allows one computer with internet access to run on their site, and the other machines will contact that one computer for their license key verification.

Organic Channel

What is an Organic Channel?

An Organic Channel is any marketing channel where visibility is gained thanks to non-paid self-created content. For example, website traffic coming in through a blog article, social media post, or YouTube video, will be coming in through the organic channel. Working with Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is usually a good way to grow the organic channel. Website traffic can also come in through Paid and Earned Channels.
