About LicenseSpring

LicenseSpring is a cloud-based Software Entitlement Management Service (also known as a License as a Service, or LaaS) for Software Vendors that distribute software applications. Licensing can be configured as perpetual, time-limited, subscription, or metered, and a license can either be node-locked, or allow for concurrent usage, also known as floating licenses. LicenseSpring also provides offline activation and license check capabilities, so that software can be distributed to clients whose devices do not connect to the internet.

To make it easy to connect to the LicenseSpring service, we provide SDKs in Java, C/C++, .NET/C#, Delphi, Swift/Objective-C, as well as a License API.

LiscenseSpring currently integrates with Stripe, FastSpring, and 2Checkout for License Fulfilment, along with providing a Management API for issuing, exporting, and editing licenses in almost any scenario.

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.

Functionality

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.

Customer support

Functionality

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.

Reasons 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.

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.

Reasons 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.

We use LicenseSpring now since 2 years and had so far no outage. The ramp-up of new License Managers goes smooth and in very short time thanks to the intuitive web interface. I would definitely choose LicenseSpring again.

Pros:

It was easy to integrate into my product, and to my reseller (FastSpring). The license admin UI is easy to use. The free tier is nice for a low-volume business like mine.

Cons:

There are feature limitations at the free tier, but that's understandable.

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).
