Licenses

Each license is associated with a product and can be activated on a defined number of devices. A license can also have an email associated with it, allowing customers to manage their licenses in the portal.

License types

Keyforge currently supports two types of licenses:

  • Perpetual: A license that never expires.
  • Timed: A license that expires at a specific date.

Devices

A license can be activated on multiple devices, as defined by the maximum active devices.

Each active device on a license has 3 properties:

  • Identifier: A unique identifier for the device. Must have at most 96 characters.
  • Name: A name for the device. Does not need to be unique. Must have at most 64 characters.
  • Activation date: The date when the device was activated.

Device identifier

The device identifier needs to be unique inside the license scope. There are various ways to get a unique identifier, such as the MAC address, HWID, serial number, or a randomly generated UUID stored in the device.
