Integration Steps

  1. Choose Integration Method
    • Evaluate your requirements
    • Consider development resources
    • Review available options
    • Select appropriate method
  2. Obtain API Credentials
    • Generate API key
    • Configure access permissions
    • Set up webhook endpoints
    • Test API connectivity
  3. Implement License Validation
    • Add validation code to application
    • Handle different license types
    • Implement error handling
    • Test validation logic
  4. Handle Validation Responses
    • Process success responses
    • Handle error conditions
    • Implement retry logic
    • Log validation attempts
  5. Domain Validation
    • Implement domain checking
    • Handle subdomains
    • Support multiple domains
    • Validate domain format
  6. Error Handling & Logging
    • Implement comprehensive error handling
    • Set up logging system
    • Monitor validation failures
    • Alert on critical errors

API Endpoints

  • Validate License - POST /api/validate
  • Activate License - POST /api/activate
  • Deactivate License - POST /api/deactivate
  • Check Status - GET /api/status/{license_key}
  • Get License Info - GET /api/license/{license_key}

Code Examples

PHP Integration

<?php
// Include license validator
require_once 'license-validator.php';

// Initialize validator
$validator = new LicenseValidator('YOUR_API_KEY');

// Validate license
$result = $validator->validate('LICENSE_KEY', 'example.com');

if ($result->isValid()) {
    // License is valid, proceed with application
    echo "License validated successfully!";
} else {
    // Handle invalid license
    die("Invalid license key");
}
?>

JavaScript Integration

// Initialize license validator
const validator = new LicenseValidator('YOUR_API_KEY');

// Validate license
validator.validate('LICENSE_KEY', 'example.com')
    .then(result => {
        if (result.valid) {
            // License is valid
            // License validated successfully
        } else {
            // Handle invalid license
            throw new Error('Invalid license');
        }
    })
    .catch(error => {
        // Handle validation error
    });

Best Practices

  • Secure API Keys - Never expose API keys in client-side code
  • Implement Caching - Cache validation results to reduce API calls
  • Handle Offline Scenarios - Graceful degradation when API is unavailable
  • Regular Updates - Keep integration code updated
  • Monitor Usage - Track API usage and performance

Troubleshooting

  • Connection Issues - Check network connectivity and firewall settings
  • API Errors - Verify API credentials and endpoints
  • Domain Validation - Ensure domain format is correct
  • Rate Limiting - Implement proper rate limiting handling
  • SSL Issues - Verify SSL certificate configuration

Proper license integration protects your software while providing a seamless experience for your users. Choose the integration method that best fits your development workflow and technical requirements.
