Licenses

Sell license keys for your software

Software, plugin, app, access to your online service: each sale delivers a unique key, sent by e-mail to the buyer. You set its validity and the number of devices.

What you can sell

What is bought is not a file: it is the right to use your software or your service.

  • Software and apps

    For computers or phones: the key unlocks your software on the number of devices you set.

  • Plugins and extensions

    For Lightroom, WordPress, Figma or your own tool.

  • Access to your online service

    A period of access paid once: your app checks the key with Kivoo.

  • Games and content to unlock

    A full version, a level, a pack: the key opens it.

How it works

One key per sale, ready as soon as it is paid.

  1. Create your license

    Kivoo generates the keys, or you import your own stock. Set the validity (from 1 day to 10 years, or permanent) and the number of devices, up to 100.

  2. Sell it

    Share your product page: every confirmed payment delivers a unique key.

  3. The buyer gets their key

    By e-mail, with your activation instructions, and in their My purchases space, ready to copy.

What you keep in hand

The “Keys” page of your product lists every key sold.

  • All your keys in one place

    The buyer, the status, the active devices and the end date of every key.

  • Free a device or revoke

    Deactivate a device to free its seat, or revoke a key in one click. A refund revokes it too.

  • Send the key again

    The buyer lost the e-mail? Send it again from the key’s page.

  • Alerts on your stock

    You are told when your stock of keys runs low, then when it runs out.

For developers

Your software checks the keys, through Kivoo’s API

Your software talks to Kivoo through the public API, with an API key of your store.

  • Check the keys

    Validate a key, activate or deactivate a device from your software or your server.

  • Receive the events

    Key issued, activated, revoked, about to expire: your webhooks tell you.

  • Get paid from your app

    Your app creates a checkout session and sends the buyer to pay on Kivoo.

Built for the way you sell

A few examples of what you can do with Kivoo, depending on what you sell.

  • Example

    An app developer

    He sells access to his software: each sale issues a unique key, valid for a year on three devices, which his app checks with Kivoo.
