Product Licenses
Businesses on Sellix can now generate, activate, extend, and verify license keys for their software products with our powerful ecommerce platform. Sellix now automates the delivery of customer-linked license keys and assigns a license key to a specific hardware identification code.
Sellix also comes feature-packed with a monitoring system to identify expiration and activation statuses across customer transaction histories. Sellix product licenses support third-party integrations across custom-built applications and software for optimal product delivery.
Here's an ideal customer transaction flow:
Customers complete payment for a specific product on your storefront.
We generate a new license key based on your parameters which can be accessed in your dashboard.
Customers will receive an individualized license key to access your software/web application.
Businesses can continue to track active and expired licenses via their dashboard.
Developers can interact with our API to verify the authenticity of each license key and link to a hardware ID.

Generate Serials
Sellix will automatically generate new license keys with a customized prefix (e.g. SLLX) with a set quantity prior to delivery.
To verify generated serials for your software/web application, use the POST /products/licensing/check through our API: https://developers.sellix.io/#license.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I prevent duplicated serials with Sellix?
Of course. It's always best to set a unique license_key to prevent serials duplication. This ensures that serials you upload for automatic delivery won't be sent to multiple customers resulting in a loss of revenue.
How do I link each license key to a specific hardware ID?
While Sellix is unable to enforce hardware-specific locks, this is something you're able to accomplish with your own software/web application. You'll be able to lock a license key to a customer device and verify that the customer continues to access that license key without other third-party tools.
How do I set an expiration date for licenses?
Once you create a product license key, you'll be given the option to set an expiration date on a daily scale (e.g. 365 days = 1 year). To set the expiration date, scroll down on the product edit/create page until you reach the "License Expiration" section. Once you're there, enter the number of days you'd want your license key to be active.
How do I set a custom label for product delivery?
To customize the label your customers receive post-purchase, for example, "Product purchased" to "Ticket purchased", you'll need to go to the product edit/create page and scroll down to the "Label" section. Once you're there, enter the ticket if singular (e.g. Ticket) or plural (e.g. Tickets) and save your changes.
