LicenseSeal Features

Everything you need to manage licensing - from activation and offline workflows to seat control and real-time usage enforcement.

Built for Modern Licensing

LicenseSeal delivers a complete set of capabilities designed for secure licensing, predictable runtime behavior, and operational clarity.

From activation to enforcement and analytics, every feature is built around real-world licensing workflows - including online and offline environments, floating seat control, and usage-based models - all backed by centralized policy management and auditable systems.

Online & Offline Activation

Activate applications seamlessly when connected, or use a secure signed request-and-response flow for air-gapped environments. Ensures reliable licensing regardless of network conditions.

Floating Seat Management

Control concurrent usage with lease-based seats and heartbeat tracking. Inactive sessions are automatically detected and reclaimed to keep seat allocation efficient.

Centralized Policy Control

Define products, entitlements, limits, and trust configuration in a single control plane (Authority). All licensing decisions originate from a consistent and auditable policy source.

SDK & Support Tooling

Built-in SDK diagnostics, support bundles, and correlation tracking make troubleshooting faster and more transparent. Reduce resolution time with clear visibility into every licensing interaction.

Analytics & Usage Insights

Monitor activations, validations, seat usage, rehosts, and consumption through aggregated metrics. Designed with bounded retention and operational visibility in mind.

API Gateway Metering

Enable usage-based licensing with credit tracking, idempotent debit handling, and secure API access control. Protect against overuse while maintaining accurate billing and reporting.

Feature Groups

LicenseSeal features are organized around real operational workflows, making it easier for teams to manage licensing, enforce policies, and support customers in production environments.

Activation and validation icon

Activation & Validation

Handle both online and offline activation with built-in support for secure challenge/response flows. Applications validate signed tokens locally using the SDK, ensuring fast and reliable license checks.

Seat and borrow lifecycle icon

Seat & Borrow Lifecycle

Manage concurrent usage through floating seat leases with checkout, heartbeat, and automatic timeout recovery. Optional borrow flows allow temporary offline usage while maintaining policy control.

Gateway and credit control icon

Gateway & Credit Control

Support API-based products with flexible authentication options (API keys, JWT, HMAC). Track usage through a ledger system with debit, grant, refund, and adjustment events - all processed reliably and idempotently.

Portal and support workflows icon

Portal & Support Workflows

Provide customers and operators with full visibility through portal views, license actions (like rehost), and support ticket workflows. Diagnostics, uploads, and audit timelines help resolve issues quickly and maintain traceability.

Plan-Ready Feature Scope

LicenseSeal features are structured to support clear product packaging and controlled rollout.

Core and advanced capabilities are defined explicitly, allowing teams to enable features safely through policy and entitlement controls.

Premium features are managed with server-side enforcement, ensuring that access is always aligned with licensing rules and cannot be bypassed at runtime.
