| | | Protect the software you develop from unauthorized copies, limit the usage in time, to a specific set of |
| | | machines, or prevent the usage in virtualized environments. `Licensecc` is an open source license management system |
| | | that helps to keep your software closed |:smirk:| . |
| | | |
| | | Among the other features the most notable one is: if it runs on a "real hardware" (not a container/vm) |
| | | it can generate a signature of that hardware and report if the signature doesn't match, because for instance |
| | | the software has been copied to another place. |
