Keygen
Keygen is a software licensing, entitlements, and distribution API for desktop, on-prem, IoT, and other installed applications. It issues license keys, activates and tracks machines, enforces policy-based entitlements, and distributes releases and artifacts for auto-updates. Keygen ships as the source-available, self-hostable Keygen CE / EE and as the managed Keygen Cloud, exposing a JSON:API interface under api.keygen.sh.
Keygen publishes 12 APIs on the APIs.io network, including Artifacts API, Components API, Entitlements API, and 9 more. Tagged areas include Software Licensing, Entitlements, License Keys, Machine Activation, and Distribution.
Keygen’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, engineering blog, and 10 more developer resources.
