A minimal Electron v12 + React v17 app built with Parcel, showcasing how to implement an in-app software licensing portal with the following functionality:

1. License key validation
2. Device fingerprinting and activation
3. Device management and deactivation
4. Signature verification
5. Auto-updates with electron-builder

First up, configure a couple application variables. The values below, embedded within the app, are for our demo account. Feel free to find/replace to your own account's values.

# Your Keygen account's DER encoded Ed25519 verify key
KEYGEN_VERIFY_KEY="MCowBQYDK2VwAyEA6GAeSLaTg7pSAkX9B5cemD0G0ixCV8/YIwRgFHnO54g="

# Your Keygen account ID
KEYGEN_ACCOUNT_ID="1fddcec8-8dd3-4d8d-9b16-215cac0f9b52"

# Your Keygen product ID
KEYGEN_PRODUCT_ID="7071feff-b5f3-434a-83c1-3ab3f3592325"

Next, install dependencies with yarn:

yarn

Then start the app in dev mode:

yarn dev

Visit your dashboard and create a new policy with the following attributes:

{
  "authenticationStrategy": "LICENSE",
  "requireFingerprintScope": true,
  "maxMachines": 3,
  "concurrent": false,
  "floating": true,
  "strict": true
}

The maxMachines value can be whatever you prefer. The example should also work for a non-floating policy.

To build the app:

yarn build

To run the latest build:

yarn start

To package and publish the app:

yarn dist
