Software licensing infrastructure

Your Software Gets Shared.
LicenseFort Stops It.

Sell your EA, Windows app, Python tool, WordPress plugin or browser extension directly while LicenseFort controls exactly who can run it, where, and for how long — unique licenses, account/device binding, instant revocation, and a fail-open grace window so an outage on our end never stops software your customers already licensed.

License Sharing Blocked — same key, second unrecognized device

Every Shared Copy Can Be a Lost Sale.

You spent weeks or months building your software. One customer shouldn't be able to buy it once and hand it to ten other traders.

One Purchase. Ten Users.

A customer forwards your EA to friends, a Discord server or a Telegram group. Without licensing controls, every copy can quietly become lost revenue.

Zero Visibility

Without online validation, you often have no idea which accounts, machines or customers are actually running your software.

Manual Chaos

Expiry dates, customer emails, account numbers and activation resets turn into spreadsheets, inbox searches and support messages.

Your software. Your customers. Your rules.

If LicenseFort Goes Down, Your Customers Don't.

Every license check has a configurable offline-grace window — set per product in your dashboard, 72 hours by default. If a device already validated successfully and LicenseFort becomes unreachable, it keeps running until the window expires instead of locking out instantly. Built into the Protect Software wizard and every official SDK, not just documented as a promise.

Fail-open by default

A real outage on our end never instantly cuts off software your customers already licensed.

You set the window

0–720 hours per product. Default 72; turn it off entirely if you'd rather fail closed.

Never overrides a real rejection

A revoked or expired license is cleared immediately — grace only covers "couldn't reach us," never "reached us and got told no."

How LicenseFort Works

SELL

Customer purchases your product.

GENERATE

LicenseFort creates a unique license — automatically or manually.

BIND

Restrict it by customer, account, device or your own rules.

VALIDATE

Your software checks access through LicenseFort at runtime.

CONTROL

Extend, reset, expire or revoke access instantly.

Try the CONTROL step

ACCESS GRANTED

This is exactly what happens in your dashboard — one click, applied instantly.

Watch It Protect a Real File

Every screenshot below is the actual Protect Software wizard, running — not a mockup. This is exactly what you'll see after you sign up.

Protect Software wizard step 1: a grid of twelve platforms — MT4/MT5 EAs, indicators and scripts, a Windows app, Python, .NET, Go, WordPress and Chrome extension — with MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor selected.

Step 1 of 6

Pick your platform

MT4/MT5 (EA, indicator or script), a Windows .exe, Python, .NET, Go, a WordPress plugin, or a Chrome extension. This decides which compiler — if any — and file type the wizard expects next.

Built for MT4 & MT5 Software Sellers

Selling outside the official MQL5 Marketplace? LicenseFort gives independent EA, indicator and script sellers their own licensing infrastructure without having to build a complete authentication backend.

MT4/MT5 Account Binding

Lock a license to an approved trading account.

Device / HWID Control

Restrict licenses to approved devices where supported.

Expiration Dates

Create monthly, yearly or lifetime access.

Instant Revocation

Block access immediately from your dashboard.

Activation Resets

Move legitimate customers to a new machine without creating a new license.

Online Validation

Your EA or software can verify the customer's license before allowing access.

Customer Management

Know which customer owns every license.

Subscription Ready

Prepare licenses to work alongside recurring payments.

Keep More of Every Sale.

Selling on the MQL5 Market means a commission on every sale. Selling independently with LicenseFort means a flat subscription instead.

Illustrative comparison based on publicly available marketplace commission information (mql5.com/en/market/rules, checked August 2026) and the selected LicenseFort plan. Actual costs vary — LicenseFort doesn't process payments on your behalf or guarantee any level of sales, and you're responsible for your own checkout/payment processing either way.

What Could Software Sharing Be Costing You?

A rough, illustrative look at how sharing could affect your numbers — not a prediction, just a sense of scale.

A rough estimate of how many additional people might end up running one customer's copy.

Current monthly revenue

$3,750

Potential unlicensed users

25

Potential revenue exposure

$3,750

Illustrative only. This assumes every unauthorised copy represents a missed sale, which won't always be true — some of those users would never have paid at all. Treat this as a rough sense of exposure, not a revenue guarantee.

More Licenses, Same Money.

If you're comparing us to LicenseShield, the per-license math isn't close — same money, several times the licenses to grow into.

LicenseFort pricing pulled live from the same data that drives /pricing and checkout. LicenseShield pricing verified August 13, 2026 against their public pricing page — re-check before relying on it if you're reading this much later; prices change.

Unlimited license checks on every plan, too — we charge for licenses, not for your customers opening their terminals.
