License Key Management
Generate, deliver, search, and manage software license keys sold through SellApp digital products.
License keys are a digital item type for software, private tools, paid communities with external access, or any product that needs a unique key after purchase. SellApp handles license key generation and delivery, then gives you a dashboard for search, usage, and expiration management.
Sell a license key product
Open a product variant, expand Digital Items, then select License key.
Configure the license data:
- Add a license prefix if you want keys to follow your brand or product naming.
- Set a usage limit, or make the license unlimited.
- Set an expiration length, or make the license unlimited.
- Save the variant.
After purchase, SellApp generates and delivers the license key to the customer. This keeps license key management connected to the order, customer email, and product variant that produced the key.
Manage licenses
Open Licenses to see generated license keys.
The Licenses dashboard shows:
- The license key with prefix.
- Status.
- Customer email.
- Usage count and limit.
- Expiration.
Use search when a customer sends you a key and you need to find the matching purchase quickly.
License instances
License instances track where a license has been used. This is useful when your app or external platform validates license keys and registers installs, devices, projects, or workspaces.
If a customer reaches their usage limit, review the license and its instances before increasing the limit or issuing a replacement.
