Top License tracking and management service. Amazing value for your money

The software is outstanding, and the customer service and support is simply the best. The service cost is very reasonable and License spring is very willing to help with initial costs to get us up and running.

PROS

I love the fact that the system is very mature and does give a full solution to every possible scenario. Whether it is Online product activation, or tracking cloud per consumption, and even offline activation, they support all of the great features. One thing we really love is the ability to assign a block of licenses to our reseller so the reseller can sell and control individual licenses to their end-users. This feature is gold because most of our business is through a distribution channel and letting the reseller control the end user licenses, reduces a lot of work from our end.

CONS

So far, we did not find anything we do not like.

The best we've ever used

LicenseSpring has been a great company to work with. Their team is responsive and the product is amazing.

PROS

LicenseSpring has a great product. We appreciate the platform running on a modern software stack. The website and REST APIs are very responsive. The libraries integrate seamlessly into our C++/Unreal Engine based application. The pricing terms are much less predatory than our previous solution. LicenseSpring is very customer focused.

CONS

I wish LicenseSpring had an off-the-shelf integration with Hubspot. Given what we've been doing internally to get that sorted out, I'm not surprised.

Reason for choosing LicenseSpring

We picked LicenseSpring because it is a better product for doing the things we need a licensing manager to do than the solution we were previously using.

Reasons for switching to LicenseSpring

We made the switch due to cost, easy of integration into our product, and the presence of good APIs for developing our backend integrations.

LicenseSpring Review

PROS

For me, as an administrator/analyst, it is a good starting point to understand how many users we currently have.

CONS

The analytics could be improved, right now I have to download all the data via API and then work with it in another software.

Satisfied with LicenseSpring

Experience has been generally positive. The service is flexible enough to meet our varying needs. When we ned to do something, typically there is a way to make it work. And individuals at LicenseSpring (e.g. Edmon) are always there to help out. Being a small company, the service is quite expensive as we do not ship a lot of products. The features we need require a more expensive subscription which adds to our operating costs. I hope that fees do not grow to the point where we cannot afford them any more.

PROS

We needed to interact with the team at LS to learn how to best use the flexibility of the service to best meet our business needs. They were supportive and responsive.

CONS

Using the support port is clumsy. I felt it was important to use the support page and not email directly to LS individuals. But when I did that, often the "case" would be idle for days until I directly emailed the individuals at LS.

Reason for choosing LicenseSpring

Flexibility. I have worked with licensing models in the past so was looking for a service that offered the full range of licensing options from node-locked to consumption to floating licenses etc.

Vendor Response

Hi Charlie, Edmon here, thank you for the review, and for being a long-term customer of ours, especially trusting us in the early days. I wanted to respond to the support comment from a while back, and I agree that you should not have needed to email the management team in order to escalate. in 2023, we hired additional dedicated customer success staff in 2023 to handle the sorts of tickets you are referring to.

Good value for money, easy to use, everything that you need for your licensing

PROS

It's quite well designed and easy to use. We have used the license api in our software and management api to do a custom connection to our CRM and that was not hard to do.

CONS

Their documentation is not always complete if you wanna go down to the details, its nice for doing initial setups but if you wanna go very deep there are some gaps. On the other hand they are quite fast answering questions via their support so it has not be a very big issue.

Reason for choosing LicenseSpring

We contacted other licensing options and they wanted royalties. Which is absurd. The flat rate they offer is a fair value for money and in terms of what is needed for a licensing server is more than enough for us.

Great license managment tool

PROS

Web interface was pretty straightforward, everything is well documented, for the developers is not complicated to implement the wrappers which support different languages. We never regreted using the tool, and the only reason why we switched was because of the company police that all departments have to use the internal licensing tool.

CONS

There is defintely place for making the assigning of licences to the new users easier, the entire process is a bit unclear, but other than that, there is really not much what i can say against the tool.

Great licensing product

Simple, stable licensing framework that works well. I could not recommend them more!

PROS

A very mature and stable product for the price range. Has most of the features you would expect to see in low end enterprise solutions. Great SDK, very well documented. Their development support is outstanding.

CONS

Cannot think of any serious cons. It would be good to be able to customize some of the views in the vendor portal but this is not critical.

A usable product and attentive supplier

Above average. An agile and supportive supplier.

PROS

The product is feature-rich and user friendly. The supplier is supportive and agile on feature development and customer success.

CONS

We have used the product for license tracking at customer location (on-premise). Deploying it in this way required some back&forth with supplier and was more complex than we anticipated. The supplier also introduced a breaking change in one of the versions that took us by surprise (a one time incident).

License tracking for Unity application

The team has created a very easy to use licensing solution, and are very responsive when we have reached out - always willing to help.

PROS

The C# integration was straight forward, and easy to implement checks and validations at a basic level. Making it easy to deploy an MVP quickly.

CONS

It was unfortunate that the Unity specific SDK was out of date and not recommended. Though, the C# SDK was easily integrated.

Best Value for User Rights Management

License Spring has been great to work with. They have been very responsive to requests and issues as we got started with them. And probably most importantly, their licensing service is very reliable.

PROS

License Spring was chosen as one of our most cost effective services for handling license-key creation and registration for our product. License Spring ultimate won out as it supports FastSpring's purchase infrastructure. We got into the service rather early, and had to go a more manual REST API method because of our usage of Unity and being both Windows and Mac based. In the near future we are going to revisit our License Spring implementation and catch up with their licensing SDK improvements.

CONS

The documentation took some time to really come to an understanding with, but was directly comparable to many service's documentation. I would like to be able to delete packages from the dashboard, I made a few in error as I was learning the system (although I recognize this may not be possible by nature of the underlying database structure).

Reason for choosing LicenseSpring

Price, Integration with FastSpring, Responsiveness.

Vendor Response

This review is from one of our first paying customers, who'se feedback has been instrumental in helping us develop a useful licensing service. We are grateful to be working with Cybernetic Entertainment, who is still providing us with valuable feedback to help make LicenseSpring even better for all of our customers. We are working on improving our documentation and expanding it, along with exciting new features to LicenseSpring's API and platform.

Great for downloadable software

Extremely positive, would use again if we had to do it all over again.

PROS

Our product has a downloadable component that runs on a local machine and requires cloud connectivity to work, so the cloud-based activation model was a no-brainer for us and ensured that we had control over every license. The team worked us to ensure that their platform integrated against FastSpring (which we use for fulfillment and subscription management), and was very helpful in helping us get our implementation out the door.

CONS

The system didn't have all of the features we needed out of the gate so we couldn't hit the ground running right away, but their development team went out of their way to ensure that the features we needed got implemented on their platform.

Perfect for my use case

Having a cloud-based licensing platform gives me more peace of mind as a software creator. I know I cannot stop all forms of piracy, but I can at least try to protect my IP with a key-based solution. It is nice to know I can login to the platform and check the status of my licenses at any time.

PROS

LicenseSpring was easy to get integrated into my software product OmniTag. The API allowed me to get up and running quickly, and because it is cloud-based, I always have control over activating / deactivating licenses.

CONS

The biggest challenge I had was integrating LicenseSpring with my online Shopify store. I had to write my own app for this. However, now that it is up and running, the process works flawlessly.

Reason for choosing LicenseSpring

LicenseSpring's free tier allowed me to get up and running quickly. The cloud-based implementation solves a lot of common problems with checking and validating licenses, so it was a perfect fit for my use case.

Simple licensing system

The overall experience is quite positive to date we have not had any problems and we have received the required support. Perhaps in some features that we have requested to add they have had problems adding them, but in any case I recommend it.

PROS

The product, in general, is easy to use. Its implementation in the program code is quite simple.

CONS

I think that the administration interface needs improvements that allow better administration of orders and users.

Vendor Response

Hello, thank you for the review, and for the feedback. We are a fairly small team, and for the time being have prioritized feature development, unfortunately for some aspects to the detriment of the UI. We intend to fully overhaul the interface to make is as intuitive as possible in the upcoming months, so I encourage you to stay tuned! Thanks again for your trust in LicenseSpring!

A Great Platform for Startups

It's been a solid experience for us. Our development pipelines integrated very easily with the frameworks from LicenseSpring, and whenever we faced a challenge, the team was always able to provide a timely solution to us. The support was the breakaway feature!

PROS

The product is incredibly consistent, delivering a reliable experience across platforms and a clear method of use whenever we need to deploy new products, regardless of how they are developed. I also appreciate the ability to tie the product back to our merchant service to have an automated pipeline from point of sale all the way to product activation.

CONS

Some of the documentation on the web portal could use an update.

Great product, excellent support

We have moved our software to a simpler, cleaner and more useful licensing model. Couldn't ask for more really.

PROS

The simplicity to set up and integrate with our existing software. The SDK is very clear, thorough and easy to use.

CONS

During the earlier days of our subscription, there were frequent updates which could create incompatibility issues. Also limited view on license usage history. LicenseSpring has helped get around these issues though, so they are only minor concerns.

Reasons for switching to LicenseSpring

Price and simplicity of implementation.
