What is LicenseDNS?
LicenseDNS provides an innovative approach to software license management by utilizing DNSSEC for cryptographically secure verification, activation, and deactivation of licenses. By leveraging the existing DNS infrastructure, developers can simplify the integration of license checks, removing the need for complicated, in-house cryptographic implementations. Instead, a simple DNS TXT query to any recursive DNS server delivers verified license data, ensuring robust security with minimal development overhead.
This system boasts broad compatibility, supporting all programming languages and operating systems—including Android and iOS. Developers benefit from reduced complexity, as LicenseDNS handles all cryptographic validation within the DNS protocol, allowing seamless license management and improved integration flexibility for software products.
