License File

What is a License File?

A License File is a file that grants a user the right to use a software application. This file is checked by a software licensing system to make sure that the person trying to access the software product has a valid license key. Without a valid license key, they are not allowed access. The file also has information regarding what features that specific user should have access to within the application.

License Key

What is a License Key?

A License Key is a 20-letter long string that stores the software license information associated with it. These keys are given to customers to ensure that they get access to the correct features in a software product. A license key can also store information relating to how long a customer should be able to access the product. A system that tracks the license keys is called a software licensing system. Such a system is also great for setting up different licensing models. They allow you to charge more effectively for a software product.
