Show HN: Open-source, machine-bound licensing with a single POST request (github.com)
4 points by Archerlm 71 days ago
I made a tiny licensing server for desktop apps and plugins. Each purchase gets a key, activating it is one POST request with a machine hash. It returns whether the key is valid and how many machines are left. There is also an open-source SDK if you would like bindings.

Most licensing systems are way too heavy for small desktop tools, so this is actually quite refreshing.
