One monthly tier with activations included, and prepaid packs when you need more - money in before consumption, no invoices chasing you. You stay the merchant of record: your customers pay you on your rails, and Key-Warden never takes a percentage of your sales. New here? See how licensing works.

Ship and sell your first protected product.

For serious volume across many products.
For serious volume - and beyond it, your terms.
All prices in US dollars (USD). An activation = one unique licence × device pair validated per calendar month; repeat checks of the same pair count once, and dev-channel activations are never billable.
Included allowances reset monthly and don't roll over. Annual prepay: pay for 10 months, get 12 (Starter and up).
*Fair-use products (Enterprise): no fixed cap - list as many genuine products as your catalogue has. If usage looks automated or storage-driven rather than a real catalogue (think hundreds of near-identical entries), we'll talk about a custom agreement first; product creation is never silently blocked.
Packs never expire and are consumed only after any included allowance. On a plan, they're your overflow with auto top-up (on by default, off any time). No plan at all? That's fine too: the PAYG lane has no monthly fee - buy a pack, it burns down one activation per unique licence × device each month, and auto-rebuys at zero. Selling your first 10-50 copies? A $29 pack is your entire licensing bill.

Member rate: on any paid plan, every pack is about 15% off - your subscription is also your discount on extra capacity.
We never revoke your customers' licences over your billing. Run out of activations? At worst, brand-new activations pause after a 72-hour grace window until you top up. Stop paying entirely? Installs keep validating through a 14-day wind-down, then continue working offline on their signed tokens - and every online service resumes the moment you do. Built into the platform, not just this page.
You are the merchant of record. Your buyers pay you directly on your own payment rails, and your pricing is your business - Key-Warden bills you for platform usage only. See how Key-Warden compares to the alternatives, or get in touch.
