Open source license server for selling your software
Keygate is an open source license server you host yourself. Issue license keys, sell trials and subscriptions through your own Stripe, ship signed updates to Tauri, Sparkle and Velopack apps, and let customers manage seats and devices in a portal.
Hi Product Hunt! I'm Alan, the maker of Keygate.
I sell desktop software, and every licensing platform I tried charged monthly and kept my customer data on their
servers. Building it myself meant months of activation logic and payment webhooks.
Keygate is a license server you run yourself:
- License keys, trials, subscriptions, perpetual and floating licenses
- Stripe checkout creates licenses automatically
- Signed app updates for Tauri, Sparkle and Velopack from one feed
- A customer portal for seats and devices
It's free and open source. I'd love to hear what you'd need to use it for your own product.
