Frequently asked questions
How does this compare to Thales Sentinel or Wibu CodeMeter?
Licenz provides equivalent security (cryptographic signatures, hardware binding, offline validation) without the complexity. No drivers to install, no dongles to ship, no 500MB runtime. Just a 2MB Rust binary that works across all platforms.
Can I deploy in air-gapped environments?
Yes. Our sneakernet activation workflow enables license activation via USB drives or secure file transfer. Generate a request file, approve it online, and install the response file offline. Enterprise tier includes self-hosted deployment for completely isolated networks.
Is the client library auditable?
Yes. The client library is fully open source under MIT license. Security teams can audit every line of code running on end-user machines. This is particularly important for government, defense, and regulated industries.
What cryptographic algorithms do you support?
RSA-SHA256 (2048/4096-bit) and Ed25519 for signatures, AES-256-GCM for encryption, and Argon2id for key derivation. Our pluggable architecture allows adding new algorithms as requirements evolve.
Is there a self-hosted option?
Yes. Enterprise tier includes Docker-based self-hosted deployment. Run the complete Licenz platform on your own infrastructure with full data sovereignty. Ideal for classified networks and compliance requirements.
Do you offer migration assistance from legacy vendors?
Yes. We provide migration guides and dedicated support for customers switching from Thales, Wibu, Flexera, or other legacy licensing solutions. Enterprise customers get a dedicated migration specialist.
