Create your first license
Open the product
In the sidebar, go to Products and select the product you want to issue a license for.
Set a customer identifier
You must provide at least one of the following:
- Email — the customer’s email address
- Discord ID — the customer’s Discord user ID
Set expiry
Choose between a lifetime license (no expiry date) or an expiring license and pick an expiry date and time. Expiry enforcement is controlled at the product level — make sure it is enabled if you want the date to be enforced during validation.
Set IP limit (optional)
Enter a value for
max_ips to limit how many distinct IP addresses can activate this license. Leave blank or set to 0 for no limit. IP enforcement must also be enabled on the product for this to take effect.Customer identifiers
A license must have at least one identifier so KeyPort can link it to a real customer:| Identifier | When to use |
|---|---|
| Standard for web or SaaS customers | |
| Discord ID | Useful for communities and Discord bot-gated products |
Lifetime vs expiring licenses
- Lifetime licenses have no expiry and remain valid until explicitly revoked.
- Expiring licenses become invalid after their set date when expiry enforcement is on. You can update the expiry date at any time from the license detail page.
Managing a license
From Licenses > [license key] you can:- Update the expiry date or add notes
- Reset the IP history (clears all recorded IPs, allowing the customer to activate from new addresses)
- View and manage per-license IP records and blacklist entries
- Review and approve or deny transfer requests
- Revoke the license
Revoking a license
Click Revoke on the license detail page. A revoked license returns an invalid response on all future validation requests. Revocation is immediate and cannot be undone from the dashboard — create a new license if access needs to be restored.On qualifying plans you can bulk-revoke licenses from the product’s license list view. Select the licenses you want to revoke and choose Bulk revoke from the actions menu.
