Scale software licensing as your business grows with Keygen and Stripe

Great news! People love your product so much you're ready to pursue your planned licensing model to grow revenue, but now your engineering team has to make it happen. Bad news: No one has experience building licensing servers. 

Enter Keygen. It's a service that handles software licensing for your app. Instead of building your own licensing server, you can implement one with Keygen's API. From there, you're ready to issue and validate license keys, activate devices, and much more. Keygen offers cloud and self-hosting options, so you can build what your business needs.

Thankfully, you don't need any developer resources to automate your entire licensing workflow. Just create a simple Zap—our word for automated workflows—that automatically creates a new license in Keygen when you receive a new Stripe payment.

The problem: You manually create and issue product licenses, so customers have to wait longer to use your app. Plus, it's hurting your ability to scale your business. 

The solution: Automate your licensing workflow with the tools you already use, starting with the initial purchase. Connect your payment processing app to Keygen and automatically create product keys.
