How it works

From product to protection.

01

Create your product

Add your software product, set expiry, device limits, trial periods, activation limits and configure license types.

02

Issue license keys

Connect your payment processor and configure a webhook. Keys are issued automatically on purchase, or manually from the dashboard.

03

Track everything

Monitor activations, block abuse, and review purchase records — all from your own real-time dashboard running on your infrastructure.

Features

Everything you need to protect & manage.

Product Management

Define and manage your software products with versioning, pricing tiers, and per-device activation limits.

License Management

Generate, issue, and revoke license keys with support for perpetual, subscription, and trial license types.

Activation Tracking

Monitor where and how your software is activated — including device info, OS, IP address, and activation status.

Purchase Records

Automatically record purchases via webhooks from your payment processor — Stripe, Paddle, or any provider. Each transaction is linked to the license key it triggered.

Analytics Dashboard

Real-time overview of active licenses, total activations, webhook-triggered purchases, and recent activity across all your products.

Copy Protection

Enforce license limits per device and block unauthorized use — no reliance on third-party services required.

Skip building key generation, webhook handling, and revocation logic from scratch — Copy Guard does it for you.

Sell through any marketplace or your own site and let Copy Guard handle licensing behind the scenes.

Why Copy Guard

Know your customers. Control your software.

Copy Guard runs entirely on your own server — your data stays in your environment and you remain in full control. It handles the plumbing: key generation, webhook ingestion from your payment processor, activation limit enforcement, and revocation logic. No cloud subscription to Exply Labs. No vendor lock-in. One deployment, yours to own.
