Overview

PermitCore is a software licensing infrastructure designed specifically for indie developers and software teams. It addresses the common challenge of managing software licensing by providing a comprehensive solution that includes license key generation, device activation limits, and customer portals. With integrations available through REST APIs and SDKs for various programming languages, PermitCore simplifies the licensing process, allowing developers to focus on building their products rather than on licensing complexities. The free plan and trial options make it accessible for those just starting out.

Description

We built PermitCore after repeatedly running into the same problem: software licensing kept becoming a second product that required its own infrastructure and maintenance. PermitCore gives indie developers and software teams license keys, device activation limits, expiration and revocation, offline and floating licensing, entitlements, customer and reseller portals, payment integrations, and webhooks. You can integrate through the REST API or SDKs for .NET, Node.js, Python, Java, C++, and PHP. There is a free plan that stays free for developers getting started, plus a three-month free trial for teams that want to explore the paid features without commitment. We're still an early-stage startup and actively creating content, so our YouTube and X channels are growing. If you need anything, reach us through Contact Us on permitcore.dev. 🚀🙂
