Cryptlex

Licensing platform for desktop, server, and embedded applications

Visit Cryptlex

Cryptlex is a software licensing platform for desktop, server, and embedded applications. It supports node-locked, floating, feature-based, usage-based, and identity-based licenses, along with trials, subscriptions, and offline licensing. The platform manages the licensing lifecycle through a single portal, covering licenses, customers, activations, trials, and releases, with an audit trail for each action.

Core capabilities include license templates, feature entitlements, maintenance policies, release hosting, and automatic updates. Protection features cover device fingerprinting, time tamper protection, VM and container control, and offline activation. Customers and resellers can use dedicated self-service portals. Integrations include Stripe, Paddle, FastSpring, Mailchimp, HubSpot, WooCommerce, Shopify, and Zapier, plus a REST API, webhooks, and automated event-triggered emails. SDKs and sample code are available for implementation.

Cryptlex is aimed at software vendors managing licensing at scale. Pricing is organized into Starter, Growth, Business, and Enterprise editions, with limits on activations, products, team members, API requests, and meters varying by tier. A 30-day free trial is available without a credit card. Plans can be billed monthly or annually, and self-hosted deployment is offered on the Enterprise tier.
