🔧 Quick Integration

C++ Integration Example

#include <license_core/license_manager.hpp>

using namespace license_core;

int main() {
    // Initialize with your secret key
    LicenseManager manager("your-secret-key-here");

    // Load and validate license
    auto info = manager.load_and_validate(license_json);

    if (info.valid && manager.has_feature("premium")) {
        // License is valid and has premium features
        std::cout << "Welcome, " << info.user_id << "!" << std::endl;
        enable_premium_features();
    } else {
        show_licensing_dialog();
    }

    return 0;
}

WebAssembly Integration

// Load LicenseCore++ WebAssembly module
async function initializeLicensing() {
    const LicenseCoreModule = await import('./license_core.js');
    const wasmModule = await LicenseCoreModule.default();

    // Create license manager instance
    const manager = new wasmModule.LicenseCoreWasm('your-secret-key');

    // Validate license using native C++ WASM
    const result = manager.validateLicense(licenseJson);

    if (result.valid) {
        console.log("License valid for:", result.user_id);
        enablePremiumFeatures(result.features);
    }
}

🔍 Frequently Asked Questions About Software Licensing

What is Software Licensing and Why Do I Need It?

Software licensing is a legal framework that protects your intellectual property and controls how your software is distributed and used. LicenseCore++ provides enterprise-grade licensing with HMAC-SHA256 cryptographic signatures, hardware binding, and feature control - essential for commercial software protection against piracy and unauthorized distribution.

How Does LicenseCore++ Compare to Cryptolens?

Unlike Cryptolens which charges $1,188/year ($3,564 over 3 years), LicenseCore++ offers one-time pricing starting at $199. Both provide HMAC signature validation and hardware binding, but LicenseCore++ includes WebAssembly support, C++ native performance, and no recurring fees - saving you over $3,000 in just 3 years.

What is HMAC-SHA256 and Why is it Important?

HMAC-SHA256 (Hash-based Message Authentication Code with SHA-256) is a military-grade cryptographic algorithm that ensures license integrity. It prevents tampering by creating unforgeable digital signatures. LicenseCore++ uses HMAC-SHA256 to guarantee that licenses cannot be modified, shared, or cracked - providing bulletproof protection for your software.

How Does Hardware Fingerprinting Work?

Hardware fingerprinting creates a unique identifier from device components (CPU ID, MAC address, volume serial). LicenseCore++ combines multiple hardware attributes using SHA-256 hashing to bind licenses to specific machines, preventing unauthorized copying while handling hardware changes gracefully through configurable tolerance settings.

Can I Use LicenseCore++ with WebAssembly?

Yes! LicenseCore++ is one of the few licensing solutions with full WebAssembly (WASM) support. Our C++ library compiles to efficient WASM modules, enabling real-time license validation in browsers with native performance - perfect for SaaS applications, web-based tools, and Electron apps.

Is LicenseCore++ Better Than LicenseSpring?

LicenseSpring costs $2,388/year ($7,164 over 3 years) while LicenseCore++ Professional is just $899 one-time. Both offer floating licenses and offline validation, but LicenseCore++ adds WebAssembly support, source code access, and eliminates recurring fees - saving you $6,265+ over 3 years with superior features.

📖 Complete Guide to Software License Management

Understanding Modern Software Licensing

In today's digital economy, protecting your software investment is crucial. Software licensing serves multiple purposes: revenue protection, feature control, usage analytics, and intellectual property defense. LicenseCore++ addresses all these needs with a comprehensive, developer-friendly solution.

Key Components of Enterprise Licensing

1. Cryptographic Security

At the heart of any robust licensing system is cryptographic security. LicenseCore++ uses HMAC-SHA256, the same algorithm trusted by financial institutions and government agencies. This ensures that licenses cannot be forged, modified, or reverse-engineered.

2. Hardware Binding Technology

Hardware binding prevents license sharing by tying each license to specific device characteristics. Our intelligent fingerprinting algorithm combines multiple hardware identifiers, providing strong protection while accommodating legitimate hardware upgrades.

3. Time-Based Restrictions

Control software access with flexible time limits. LicenseCore++ supports trial periods, subscriptions, and perpetual licenses with optional maintenance expiry. All time validation uses secure UTC timestamps to prevent clock manipulation.

4. Feature Flags and Entitlements

Implement tiered pricing models with granular feature control. Enable or disable specific functionality based on license type - from basic features to premium modules, API access, or concurrent user limits.

Implementation Best Practices

Server-Side License Generation

Always generate licenses on secure servers, never in client applications. LicenseCore++ provides server-side APIs for license creation with your secret key safely isolated from end-users.

Secure Key Management

Your secret key is the foundation of license security. Use hardware security modules (HSMs) or key management services for production environments. Rotate keys periodically and implement key versioning for smooth transitions.

Offline Validation Support

Not all software can maintain constant internet connectivity. LicenseCore++ performs complete validation offline, checking signatures, hardware, and expiry without phoning home - ideal for embedded systems, industrial software, and air-gapped environments.

Cross-Platform Deployment Strategies

Desktop Applications

For Windows, macOS, and Linux desktop apps, use static linking with LicenseCore++ for maximum performance and security. Our platform-specific hardware detection ensures reliable fingerprinting across all major operating systems.

Web Applications

Deploy licensing logic directly in browsers using our WebAssembly module. This enables client-side validation for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and browser-based tools while maintaining the security of compiled C++ code.

Mobile and Embedded Systems

LicenseCore++ Embedded Edition provides a lightweight C API perfect for resource-constrained environments. With minimal dependencies and tiny footprint, it's ideal for IoT devices, mobile apps, and embedded systems.

Advanced Security Considerations

Anti-Tampering Measures

Beyond cryptographic protection, implement application-level security. Use code obfuscation, anti-debugging techniques, and binary packing. LicenseCore++ Obfuscated Edition includes pre-hardened binaries with symbol stripping and control flow obfuscation.

License Revocation Systems

Build revocation capabilities for compromised licenses. Maintain server-side blacklists checked during periodic online validation. LicenseCore++ supports custom validation hooks for implementing your revocation logic.

Audit Trails and Compliance

Track license usage for compliance and analytics. Log validation attempts, feature access, and anomalies. This data helps identify piracy patterns and optimize your licensing strategy.
