Pros

Ease of use, and the SDK is quite easy to use to do validation. Good examples are given. Supports most of the common licensing requirements

Cons

Installed the linux version into Mac and Ubuntu machine, none of them worked. Only the windows installer works. Reached out to the support email, but none have responded.

I have purchase the ALGAS (Server), however i could not be able to use the application fully as i suppose due to the fact that it does not fall alongside with support service from hosting company. And as a paid service, i have spend several amount of US dollars to have the ALGAS up and running but all to no avail. despite this the License4J company did a lot effort to ensure that my product license has been hosted and managed on the Online-License4j server. Thanks to the support team. A big thank you to Mr Mehmet Yilmaz for his relentlessness support to ensure that My software License is Manage by License4J.
