keygen.LicenseKey = "C1B6DE-39A6E3-DE1529-8559A0-4AF593-V3"
 
// Validate the license
license, err := keygen.Validate(fingerprint)
if err == keygen.ErrLicenseExpired {
  panic("license is expired!")
}
 
if err == keygen.ErrLicenseNotActivated {
  // Activate the license
  machine, _ := license.Activate(fingerprint)
 
  fmt.Printf(
    "activated machine %s for license %s!\n",
    machine.ID,
    license.ID,
  )
}keygen.LicenseKey = "C1B6DE-39A6E3-DE1529-8559A0-4AF593-V3"

// Validate the license
license, err := keygen.Validate(fingerprint)
if err == keygen.ErrLicenseExpired {
  panic("license is expired!")
}

if err == keygen.ErrLicenseNotActivated {
  // Activate the license

CLOUD-NATIVE

Keygen was born in the cloud. Cloud is in our team's DNA. With Keygen Cloud,
we'll handle all the hard stuff while your team focuses on product.


FOCUS

Let your team focus on product, not in-house licensing and distribution. Save
time by using Keygen Cloud as a ready-to-go licensing solution.


MAINTENANCE

Skip the expensive up-front and ongoing costs of an in-house or self-hosted
licensing solution. Save your business development time and money with Keygen
Cloud.


SCALE

Effortlessly go from hundreds of users, to thousands, to hundreds of thousands
and beyond. We'll handle the infrastructure so your team can focus on product.


SECURITY

We strive to ensure that data stored within Keygen Cloud is as secure as
possible. TLS, HA, continuous backups, data encryption at-rest, in-transit, and
at-work.


ENTERPRISE-GRADE

self-host Keygen.

Keygen EE enables the following features:

 * Historical request logs
 * Event/audit logs
 * Environments
 * Permissions
