Licensing infrastructure for software vendors

Every license, provably yours.

Key-Warden is the entire business layer for a software product. We issue signed, tamper-proof licence keys, run a branded checkout that settles straight into your Stripe or PayPal, raise the tax invoices in your name, and ship a signed auto-update feed.

No one sits between you and your revenue, and no licence check runs on the honour system. You build the software — we run everything around it.

Signed tokens

Tamper-proof signatures mean a "valid" response cannot be faked. Verification happens in the SDK, offline-aware.

Subscription-aware

Plans, seats, expiry and grace are enforced from the license itself - not trust on the client.

Money is yours

Customers pay straight into your own Stripe or PayPal account. We issue the tax invoice in your name - we never sit between you and your revenue.

What Key-Warden does

You build the software. We run everything around it.

From the moment a customer clicks buy to the day they auto-update - licensing, payments, invoicing and delivery are one job here, not five tools you stitch together.

License & activate01

Signed activation keys, bound to a plan and seat count. Each check returns a cryptographic token your software verifies offline - a forged or lapsed licence is rejected outright, no honour system.

Get paid, your account02

A branded checkout takes one-off or subscription payments straight into your own Stripe or PayPal - we never hold your money. Plans, seats and renewals are set once and enforced from the licence itself.

Invoice in your name03

Every sale gets a proper tax invoice as the PDF your customer receives - your business, your address, your GST or VAT wording. You are the seller of record; we are the machinery behind it, never on the receipt.

Ship & auto-update04

Publish a build to a signed update feed and customers roll forward automatically. Push a bad release back to the last good version in one click - existing installs follow, nobody is served the broken one.

Refunds & disputes05

Refund in your provider and the licence is handled the way you'd expect - a full refund revokes it, a chargeback suspends it, a won dispute restores it. No spreadsheet of who paid and who didn't.

Keys stay yours06

Per-vendor signing keys live in Azure Key Vault and are never handed out - your product embeds only the public half. Licences and records are encrypted and segregated per vendor.

Built so your keys and data stay protected.

Per-vendor signing keys are generated and held in Azure Key Vault and are never handed out in plaintext - your product embeds only the public half. Licences and activation records are encrypted at rest and strictly segregated per vendor, and the website never exposes an API key to the browser: portal calls are proxied server-side. Source-code hardening (the obfuscation preview) runs entirely in your browser. See how licensing works -> or read how data is handled ->

Common questions

The short answers

Do my customers pay me directly?
Yes. Checkout runs into your own Stripe or PayPal account - Key-Warden never holds your funds - and the tax invoice is issued in your name, with your business details and GST or VAT wording.
How are licences enforced?
Every activation returns a signed, tamper-proof token your software verifies, offline-aware. Plan, seats, expiry and grace are read from the licence itself, not trusted from the client, so a forged or lapsed licence is rejected outright.
Where are the signing keys kept?
Per-vendor signing keys are generated and held in Azure Key Vault and are never handed out in plaintext. Your product embeds only the public half, and licences and records are encrypted and segregated per vendor. Read how data is handled ->
What does Key-Warden cost?
You pay for activations, not seats: a monthly subscription plus optional prepaid activation packs. See current pricing ->
