LicenseSpring connects with the tools your business already runs on. When a deal closes in your CRM, an order comes through your storefront, or a billing event fires in your payment platform, LicenseSpring automatically creates, updates, or delivers the right license — no manual intervention required.
Native integrations, a full Management API, management SDKs for Java and .NET, and webhook support give you bidirectional communication between LicenseSpring and any external service in your stack.

Developer-first APIs & SDKsLicenseSpring sits at the center of your monetization infrastructure, connecting upstream sales and billing systems with downstream applications, devices, and end-user portals. License creation, updates, and delivery happen automatically as part of your existing workflows, whether triggered by an ecommerce order, an ERP event, or a deal stage change in your CRM.
Connect your payment and ecommerce platforms so licenses are provisioned automatically the moment a purchase or subscription event occurs with no manual steps, no delivery lag.

LicenseSpring supports identity-based licensing through standard SSO protocols, integrating directly into your existing identity infrastructure. SSO can be configured across three distinct access scenarios depending on who needs to authenticate and what they need to access.
Internal teams, including operations, support, and product staff, authenticate into the LicenseSpring Vendor Platform using your existing identity provider, eliminating separate credentials.
Channel partners, resellers, and customer-side license managers authenticate into the LicenseSpring User Portal via SSO, giving them seamless access to license assignment and management without a separate login.
SSO can also act as the authentication layer for your product or application itself. When a user logs in via your identity provider, LicenseSpring returns the appropriate entitlements for that user, enabling identity-driven feature access and licensing enforcement at the product level.
LicenseSpring supports any SAML 2.0 or OIDC-compliant identity provider, which means the full range of enterprise IdPs and social sign-in options are compatible out of the box.
Secure authentication and identity-based entitlement management for enterprise applications.

For back-office and server-side license automation, LicenseSpring provides dedicated management SDKs in Java and .NET. These complement the REST Management API for teams that prefer native library integrations over direct API calls.
LicenseSpring is designed to work within your customers' deployment constraints, whether that means containerized cloud infrastructure, on-premise networks, or fully air-gapped environments with no internet connectivity.
Run LicenseSpring components, including the floating license server, in containerized environments for scalable, ephemeral deployments.
Deploy licensing infrastructure within customer networks when cloud connectivity is unavailable or restricted.
Connect cloud-based licensing infrastructure with local applications, devices, and on-premise workloads.
Industrial automation systems
Defense and air-gapped environments
Medical device software
Enterprise desktop applications
Extend LicenseSpring's capabilities across your channel by giving distributors, resellers, and partners their own provisioning interface with vendor-controlled limits on products, SKUs, and issuance volumes.
Reseller license provisioning
Distributor order management
Channel-specific entitlements
Partner reporting
For teams that need to go beyond native integrations, LicenseSpring's REST Management API and webhook infrastructure provide the building blocks to connect licensing with any internal or external system.
Other services can listen for specific license lifecycle events inside LicenseSpring via webhooks, enabling real-time automation across your entire stack, from ERP systems and order management platforms to custom provisioning workflows.
