Changes to the SDKs, the CLI, the API, the customer portal, the dashboard and the website. Filter by what you use, or follow it in a reader with the Atom feed.
The license model dialog now starts with the two choices that shape a model, how it expires and whether it sells an upgrade, in a pane of their own, with the model's terms in sections beside them. A list of those sections sums up each one and marks what still needs filling in before you can save. Choosing License file turns off what a license file cannot carry, and choosing Key or Key file again brings it back.
Sell as an upgrade now starts with Model: pick the model keys are sold as and the one they become, and the key takes its entitlements and devices. Entitlements upgrades gain Raise devices to.
A license model sold as an upgrade can now move a customer's key from one of your models to another, taking that model's entitlements and devices. An edition upgrade can also raise the key's devices.
The Electron, .NET, Rust, Swift, C++ and Flutter SDKs and the keygrant command line reach their first stable release. Nothing changed in how they work: move your version constraint to 1.x, and a C++ app's find_package now asks for keygrant 1.0.
Turn on Customer portal in a product's Settings tab and its customers get their own page of your portal, such as licensing.yourcompany.com/myapp, showing that product's licenses with its branding beside yours.
A subscription license now keeps validating for 3 days after its period ends while KeyGrant waits to hear it renewed, so a late renewal notice or a short outage never locks out a customer who just paid. A cancelled subscription, or one whose renewal failed, still stops on its own grace.
A flood of sign-in requests can no longer use up the hourly limit on emails a customer can set off. Sign-in links use at most half of it, so keys emailed from the portal, recovery and Device limit reached emails still go out. See Emails a customer can set off.
The Swift SDK runs on iOS and iPadOS 15 and later, and in Mac Catalyst apps, with the same API, so a native SwiftUI or UIKit app gets offline leases, trials, license files, metered uses and key pickup.
A new Customer portal page covers turning it on, how customers sign in, what they can see and do, handing out the keys of a team purchase, and using your own domain.
In the customer portal, the line under Manage billing said Stripe for every subscription. It now names Paddle for a key sold through Paddle.
In your customer portal, the buyer of several keys opens Keys you bought and gives each key to the person who will use it. KeyGrant emails the key to them unless you send your own key emails, and a new license.reassigned webhook tells your systems.
Settings > Payments links a Paddle account with an API key, beside Stripe. Price pickers, archive offers, held sales and License detail work with Paddle, and the docs have a new page, Selling through Paddle. Paddle opens no checkout until its account has a default payment link, so the card warns while one is missing.
Link a Paddle account in Settings > Payments by pasting an API key, live or sandbox. A completed Paddle checkout issues the license key, refunds covering the whole payment or a chargeback take it back, a chargeback Paddle wins back returns it, and renewals and cancellations follow the subscription. The checkout lookup takes a Paddle transaction id, and the customer portal's Manage billing opens Paddle's portal.
The feature list, the plan list and the platforms answer now say how an App Store build restores a license: Key pickup, a code emailed to the address on the license, with no key to type.
The home page lists the Dart and Flutter SDK beside the others, with its install line and pub.dev link, and the docs have its page: setup, the calls, restoring a license in an App Store build, and how a phone is identified.
The new keygrant package licenses Flutter apps on iOS, iPadOS, Android, Windows, macOS and Linux, with the same offline leases, trials, license files, metered uses and key pickup as the other SDKs.
Turn on Key pickup for a product and your app can restore a customer's license with a code sent to the email they bought with, no key to type, as App Store builds need. Call restoreByEmail(email, code) after pickUp(email).
Sign-up records which version of the terms you accepted, and when. If you joined another way, the dashboard asks you to accept them once.
keygrant.dev now has a terms of service and a privacy policy, linked from every page footer and from sign-up.
From CLI 0.5.2, the Windows keygrant file on the release page is signed with Authenticode.
