Use cases
How Keylight licensing fits the different kinds of apps developers sell directly.
Licensing for AI apps
AI apps blur the line between a licensed app and metered usage. Keep them separate — a signed key for the app, your own metering for tokens.
Licensing for creative apps
Editors, design tools, and audio software get used on planes, in studios, and across two or three machines. Their licensing must never break the creative flow.
Licensing for developer tools
Devtools run on locked-down machines, in CI, and behind corporate firewalls. Their licensing has to survive all three — and scale from one developer to a whole team.
Licensing for iOS apps
What the App Store handles, where StoreKit ends, and how a signed-key licensing layer fits for cross-platform and enterprise iOS distribution.
Licensing for macOS apps sold outside the App Store
Sell your Mac app directly, keep 100% of the relationship, and license it properly — signed keys, offline validation, Stripe checkout.
