Introduction
What Keylime is and how the pieces fit together.
Hosted licensing for software you ship
Keylime handles license keys, user accounts, HWID lock, sessions, and webhooks so you do not have to build auth infrastructure from scratch. You integrate a small SDK in the client; you run the seller console (or your own backend) to mint keys and manage customers.
Keylime is auth and licensing — not packing or obfuscation. You still protect the binary on your end.
How it fits your stack
1
Create an app — One product per app in the seller console.
2
Mint keys — Manually or from your checkout backend.
3
SDK in the client — Init → license or login → heartbeat.
4
Operate — Ban, reset HWID, webhooks, files, logs.
