CTO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Simple and secure turnkey license management" May 16, 2024 5.0 Pros Broad features, simple integration via SDK, responsive support, reliable service Cons Documentation needs a little more detail in places Review Source VR Verified Reviewer VP of Engineering Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "LicenseSpring review - 6 year update " August 25, 2025 5.0 Our experience with LicenseSpring has been excellent so far. A user friendly user interface and no downtime in 6 years has made this a stress free way to authenticate our products. Pros We have been using LicenseSpring in our products for over 5 years. The best thing is the steady addition of new features and API extensions that make it easy for us to handle complex license needs. Cons Nothing as of yet. Any issues we encountered were answered by support or personally by Edmon, one of the co-founders. Alternatives considered [FlexNet Manager Suite](https://www.capterra.com/p/116634/FlexNet-Manager-Suite/) Reason for choosing LicenseSpring Easy deployment and knowledgeable, fast response in getting set up. Review Source DF Daniel F. CAO Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "LicenseSpring Review" April 7, 2022 4.0 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. Review Source AA Andrew A. Technical Lead Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Very pleased user" February 12, 2026 5.0 Great experience. Totally recommended for teams that don’t want to lose focus over their core logic. The time and effort it would take to build a proper license management component in our applications close to this platform would bleed the project the resources which should be allocated for the core logic. Pros Great value and support. The business is very customer oriented. They listen and act according to sousing arguments and the platform kept improving over time with more features and integrations. Cons Still lack of native integration with Rust. There isn’t much to dislike about the platform in general from a developer perspective. Review Source Response from Cense Data February 18, 2026 Thank you for the review! We plan to add Rust bindings to the C++ SDK. Please feel free to reach out to support if this won't be sufficient and we will see what we can do. TM Thomas M. CTO, Co-Founder Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Recommended licensing solution" February 9, 2025 5.0 It's been great since the beginning. I have the feeling the team is doing a great job developing, supporting and giving us the feeling our requirements are taken seriously. Pros \+ Uncomplicated integration (SDKs,..) + Flexible for modern licensing requirements + Great support + Some feature requests of ours made it into the product Cons \- some limitations to offline floating servers (limiting number of end-user devices that can offline-activate and share a floating license) Alternatives considered [10Duke Licensing](https://www.capterra.com/p/169258/10Duke-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing LicenseSpring Integration seemed easier and more flexible. Don't fully remember it's been a few years. Switched from [CodeMeter](https://www.capterra.com/p/139011/CodeMeter/) We still kept CodeMeter for fully on-prem customers and those who had it before, it's also working well. But we needed LicenseSpring for lightweight installations without admin rights, more easily managed licenses also after deployment at customers. Review Source GK Gil K. Product Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great licensing experience" January 13, 2025 5.0 A flexible tool to meet our licensing needs with a flexible mindset to grow and help with our needs and use cases Pros It allowed us the flexibility of the licensing elements while providing all the license types we needed. We use both online and offline licenses, use product features as well as custom fields and we use different license types Cons We sometimes met challenges around machine detection, but they were addressed when we asked for the support. Review Source NS Nando S. CEO Architecture & Planning Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Good decision" September 13, 2024 5.0 LicenseSpring has an extensive portfolio of different licence types. We opted for floating cloud licences and have never regretted it. The systems are 100% reliable. Pros Reliable, large portfolio, direct support and good documentation. Cons There are currently still a few specific requests for the statistical analysis that can be improved, but LicenseSpring is already working on this topic. Alternatives considered [10Duke Licensing](https://www.capterra.com/p/169258/10Duke-Enterprise/) Reason for choosing LicenseSpring Due to the pricing which was more interesting for our desired model. Review Source NL Nicholas L. CIO Industrial Automation Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The best we've ever used" March 25, 2024 5.0 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. Switched from [FlexNet Licensing](https://www.capterra.com/p/208701/FlexNet-Licensing/) We made the switch due to cost, easy of integration into our product, and the presence of good APIs for developing our backend integrations. Review Source AV Alex V. Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good Licensing Platform for New Software" July 31, 2024 5.0 Pros LicenseSpring supports many licensing models with an easy-to-use user interface that can easily integrate with the Payment platform. Trial, time-limited, perpetual licenses can be issued easily. Cons It would be great if it offered more pricing plans that are suitable for small companies to mid-size and big companies. Review Source VR Verified Reviewer CEO Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Top License tracking and management service. Amazing value for your money " March 22, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source DG Dario G. Owner Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to use licensing platform" April 16, 2023 5.0 Pros Top support and easy to use product. Also transparent subscription with flexible start and end. Cons Everything was fine for me. So only good things say. Review Source AW Amy W. Founder Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Quality software with great support!" April 27, 2020 5.0 The overall experience is very smooth! Great software and customer support! Pros The SDK license management platform are well-built, modern, and easy to use. Good documentation. Great customer support. Cons Not much. It is exactly what we wanted. Keep up the good work! Reason for choosing LicenseSpring It's great that there are a couple good options on the market these days for license management. We chose LicenseSpring because of it's easy to use and that it provided all the features we wanted, including subscription licenses and e-commerce integration. Review Source JH Jason H. Senior Systems Integrator Printing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to implement, a reliable product with very good customer service." June 20, 2024 5.0 I was involved in selecting a lighter-weight licensing solution for some of our products. We chose LicenseSpring for a number of reasons, it met our requirements, was easy to integrate using their .NET/C# API, wasn't very expensive at the tier we needed and offered a good compromise between security and ease of use. Support was very good from the outset and remains very good. We have never needed support for end-user use. LicenseSpring have responded positively to new feature requests in the portal and SDK queries. It was important for us that LicenseSpring offered options to update users licenses in the field from the portal and this works well in practice. Pros The licensing product does everything we need. Is easy to use and so far extremely reliable. It offers some security at an affordable price and doesn't intrude on the user's experience of our product. Cons The portal is, in the main, adequate, it can take one or two more clicks to find the information you want sometimes but we haven't found much to complain about. And if we've needed a bit of extra functionality we've used the API to provide it or LicenseSpring have added it quickly. Reason for choosing LicenseSpring We evaluated the features first, product reviews and customer experiences (on the internet) and after that the quality of support and then price. Review Source JM Jan M. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Exactly what I needed" June 20, 2024 5.0 Easy to use and excellent custom service. Has never had any downtime. Pros Ease of use Lots of functional code examples in different programming languages for integration. Integration with Stripe and subscriptions. Cons Specifically, for one-time purchases in Stripe, one must create an Invoice first, which needs to be paid in order to generate the license. Reason for choosing LicenseSpring The steeper learning curve to set up other products. I also preferred to have this critical service managed by a dependable, trustworthy third-party cloud service. Review Source MW Manuel W. Head of Software Development Food Production Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Review TopControl" June 28, 2024 5.0 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 Easy integration, reliability, user friendly web interface Good Interface Documentation Cons some additional fields/information (a field for external reference numbers, license history) Review Source JH Jamal H. Owner Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Found My New Licensing System" May 31, 2024 5.0 It's been great. There were bumps in the beginning, but they always fixed things. Pros The API is modern and has many features. I love the responsiveness of the servers and I have very few issues if any. Cons Not much not to like. Comparing with others, this one seems to have everything I want. Review Source CB Charlie B. COO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Satisfied with LicenseSpring" March 27, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source Response from Cense Data April 4, 2024 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. FV Ferenc V. Software Engineer Computer Software Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "Easy to integrate, easy to use" June 15, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source TA Ted A. Product Engineering Director Information Technology and Services Used the software for: 2+ years ### "A usable product and attentive supplier" March 14, 2024 4.0 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). Review Source MC Marc C. CTO Industrial Automation Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Good value for money, easy to use, everything that you need for your licensing" March 8, 2024 5.0 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. Review Source DD Darren D. Founder + CEO Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for downloadable software" April 21, 2023 5.0 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. Review Source AD Anastas D. Director, Software Development Computer Software Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Great licensing product" June 15, 2023 5.0 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.

CEO Electrical/Electronic Manufacturing Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easy to use and powerful soft" March 17, 2024 5.0 Great tool! Easy to understand and to implement. Reactive. Pros Easy to implement and powerful solution Cons Analytics and fleet management are not that developed Review Source BG Benjamin G. Director of QA & Delivery Computer Games Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Best Value for User Rights Management" August 20, 2019 5.0 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. Review Source Response from Cense Data August 30, 2019 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. AG Aleksandar G. Software developer Computer Software Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great license managment tool" March 13, 2024 5.0 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.
