Licenses

Create, configure, and revoke licenses for your customers.

Licenses belong to a product and are linked to a customer identity. When your application calls the validation API, KeyPort checks the license against the settings you configure here.

Create your first license

1. Open the product

   In the sidebar, go to Products and select the product you want to issue a license for.

2. Go to Licenses

   Click the Licenses tab inside the product view, then click New license.

3. Set a customer identifier

   You must provide at least one of the following:

   • Email — the customer’s email address
   • Discord ID — the customer’s Discord user ID

   Both can be set together if your workflow uses both identity signals.

4. Set expiry

   Choose between a lifetime license (no expiry date) or an expiring license and pick an expiry date and time. Expiry enforcement is controlled at the product level — make sure it is enabled if you want the date to be enforced during validation.

5. Set IP limit (optional)

   Enter a value for max_ips to limit how many distinct IP addresses can activate this license. Leave blank or set to 0 for no limit. IP enforcement must also be enabled on the product for this to take effect.

6. Create the license

   Click Create license. The generated license key is shown and is ready to distribute to your customer.

Customer identifiers

A license must have at least one identifier so KeyPort can link it to a real customer:

Identifier	When to use
Email	Standard for web or SaaS customers
Discord ID	Useful for communities and Discord bot-gated products

Lifetime vs expiring licenses

• Lifetime licenses have no expiry and remain valid until explicitly revoked.
• Expiring licenses become invalid after their set date when expiry enforcement is on. You can update the expiry date at any time from the license detail page.

Managing a license

From Licenses > [license key] you can:

• Update the expiry date or add notes
• Reset the IP history (clears all recorded IPs, allowing the customer to activate from new addresses)
• View and manage per-license IP records and blacklist entries
• Review and approve or deny transfer requests
• Revoke the license

Revoking a license

Click Revoke on the license detail page. A revoked license returns an invalid response on all future validation requests. Revocation is immediate and cannot be undone from the dashboard — create a new license if access needs to be restored.

On qualifying plans you can bulk-revoke licenses from the product’s license list view. Select the licenses you want to revoke and choose Bulk revoke from the actions menu.
