Four tools. One licensing operation.
Product Manager, Key Manager, Licence Manager and Licence Log cover everything from first release to last activation.
PRODUCT MANAGER
Product Manager
Every licence belongs to a product. Product Manager is where you define what you’re selling — its identity, its prefix, and the versions you support.
- Create and manage products
- Product branding and metadata
- Full release history and changelog per product
- Unique product prefix (e.g. MKL1) used to validate licences
KEY MANAGER
Key Manager
Every licence is signed with an Ed25519 key pair that never leaves your machine. Key Manager gives you full control over your signing keys.
- Generate and manage signing keys
- Key rotation
- Key activation
- Historical keys, kept for older licences
LICENCE MANAGER
Licence Manager
Where licences actually get issued. Set the type, attach it to a customer, lock it to a domain if needed, and generate a signed licence in seconds.
- Trial, paid and perpetual licences
- Customer tracking (name, email, order reference)
- Domain locking
- Product version assignment
LICENCE LOG
Licence Log
A complete, searchable record of every licence you’ve ever issued — for support requests, renewals, or simply knowing what’s out there.
- Search across all issued licences
- Full audit history
- PDF certificate generation
- Export functionality
RELEASE HISTORY
Release History
Every product keeps its own version and changelog history, separate from MintEncoder’s own version, so Licence Manager always knows the current release without you retyping it.
- Per-product version and changelog tracking
- Current version computed automatically - never falls out of sync
- Licence Manager pre-fills the latest version for you
- Full history retained - mint against any past version if needed
ADMINISTRATOR LOCK
Administrator Lock
Keep the settings that determine whether you can keep issuing licences behind a single administrator password — confirmed by email before it ever locks anything, so a mistyped address can’t shut you out for good.
- Locks Backup, Recovery, System, and Key Manager settings
- Minting licences and viewing the Audit Log are never affected
- Recovery Email must be confirmed by email before the lock activates
- Signed, time-limited recovery codes get you back in if the password is lost
