Licensing for Industrial & Manufacturing
Air-gapped licensing for factory floors, PLCs, and SCADA systems. No dongles to lose, no USB ports to fail, no production delays.
USB dongles don't belong on factory floors
When a dongle gets lost on the third shift, production stops. When a USB port fails, your CNC machine becomes a paperweight. There's a better way.
- Lost dongles
Small USB keys disappear in industrial environments
- USB port failures
Industrial equipment runs 24/7. Ports wear out.
- Replacement delays
Shipping a new dongle takes days. Downtime costs thousands.
The Licenz Approach
Software-only licensing with hardware binding
File-based activation for air-gapped networks
Instant recovery - just reinstall the license file
15+ year lifecycle support
Sneakernet activation for air-gapped systems
File-based licensing that works without any network connection
Generate Request
Run CLI on air-gapped machine to create .req file
Transfer File
Move .req file to connected system via USB
Get Response
Upload to portal, download signed .resp file
Activate
Install .resp file on air-gapped machine
On the air-gapped machine:
$ licenz sneakernet request --output activation.req
# Hardware fingerprint captured
# Transfer activation.req to connected system After getting response:
$ licenz sneakernet install activation.resp
License installed successfully
# Machine is now licensed Built for industrial environments
PLC Software
License your programmable logic controller applications for air-gapped industrial networks.
SCADA Systems
Supervisory control software with strict offline requirements and long deployment cycles.
CNC Machines
Computer numerical control software running on dedicated machining equipment.
HMI Panels
Human-machine interface software running on dedicated operator terminals.
Edge Devices
IoT gateways and edge computing devices in isolated OT networks.
CAD/CAM Software
Design and manufacturing software used on dedicated engineering workstations.
Why manufacturing teams choose Licenz
Zero production downtime
When a traditional dongle fails at 2 AM, you wait for a replacement. With Licenz, you reinstall the license file and continue production immediately.
Hardware-level security without hardware
Licenses are bound to machine fingerprints just like dongle-based systems, but without the physical failure points.
15+ year lifecycle support
Industrial equipment runs for decades. Software licenses shouldn't become obsolete when USB form factors change or chip manufacturers discontinue products.
Multi-site deployments
With dongles, you ship hardware between facilities. With Licenz, you transfer licenses instantly via file.
