LicenseDNS enables software vendors to implement licensing using DNSSEC; a DNS based licensing implementation. To validate a license, send a DNS query to any DNS server and receive cryptographically verified license data. All platforms and langauges are supported.

LicenseDNS is fundamentally changing software licensing. We're the first and only solution to fully leverage the robust DNS ecosystem, secured by DNSSEC, to effortlessly validate, activate, and deactivate your software licenses. This isn't just a new way to license; it's a game-changer for simplicity, security, and scalability. With LicenseDNS, you can finally eliminate the need for complex, in-house cryptographic methods to verify licenses. Stop wasting valuable development time building and maintaining intricate verification processes. Instead, let the powerful DNS ecosystem handle all the heavy lifting for you, effortlessly. Simply send a standard DNS query to any recursive DNS server,…from licensedns.net

Some providers ask us to store this DNS TXT record at a domain using a DNS label like "_provider" e.g. _provider.yourdomain.com, and some providers ask that you do it at the zone apex (God help us [2]). The Domain Verification protocol stores a DNS TXT record at a DNS name derived from a hashed "verifiable identifier" (think email, telephone, DID), enabling anyone that can prove…
