Integrating License4J License Generator
License4J provides solutions for Java software product licensing. The generator supports automatic license generation, activation, deactivation, and a black-list check. It is an option for both startup and small companies as well as companies wishing to host their own license server, where all license generation requests go to their own server. Refunds and order cancellations will not automatically be triggered with License4J and require manual deletion of generated licenses.
