PMMPHub includes a built-in licensing system designed to help creators protect their premium products from unauthorized sharing while keeping integration simple.

Licensing is completely optional and can be enabled individually for each product from your Creator Dashboard.

1. What is PMMPHub Licensing?

PMMPHub Licensing is an integrated license management system that allows creators to verify purchases directly from their products.

When enabled, every purchase automatically receives a unique license key which can be verified through the PMMPHub Licensing API.

Creators can manage every license directly from their Creator Dashboard without writing their own licensing backend.

2. Features

PMMPHub Licensing includes:

• Automatic license generation

• One unique license key per purchase

• HTTPS-secured verification

• Built-in Creator Dashboard

• Instant license revocation

• License suspension

• Activation management

• Rate-limited API

• Customer information

• Purchase information

• Product information

• PHP integration example

• Real-time verification

3. Enabling Licensing

Licensing is optional.

Creators may enable or disable licensing individually for every product they publish.

Products that do not require licensing may be distributed normally without using the Licensing API.

4. Activation Methods

Creators may choose how licenses are validated.

Supported activation methods include:

• HWID Validation

• IP Address Validation

• UUID Validation

Creators may use one or multiple validation methods depending on their product.

5. License Limits

Every creator can configure licensing rules independently.

Creators may configure:

• Maximum IP addresses

• Maximum HWIDs

• License expiration

• Activation limits

• Verification behaviour

There is no platform-imposed maximum activation limit.

6. Managing Licenses

The Creator Dashboard allows creators to:

• View active licenses

• View customer information

• View purchase information

• View activation history

• View verification logs

• Revoke licenses

• Suspend licenses

• Reset activations

• Whitelist additional activations

Changes take effect immediately.

7. Verification API

License verification is performed through:

POST /api/v1/license/verify

Every request should contain a valid license key.

Additional identifiers such as HWID may also be supplied depending on your licensing configuration.

8. PHP Example

<?php

$payload = json_encode([
    'license_key' => getenv('LICENSE_KEY'),
    'hwid'        => getMachineId(), // Optional
]);

$ctx = stream_context_create([
    'http' => [
        'method'  => 'POST',
        'header'  => "Content-Type: application/json\r\n",
        'content' => $payload,
    ],
]);

$response = file_get_contents(
    'https://your-domain.com/api/v1/license/verify',
    false,
    $ctx
);

$data = json_decode($response, true);

if (!$data['success']) {
    die($data['message']);
}

echo "License Verified!";

9. Successful Response

A successful verification returns information about the license, customer and purchased product.

Example:

{
  "status": "active",
  "success": true,
  "message": "License key is valid",
  "license": {
    "license_key": "cf849418-d22d-42e4-9b56-121a8bf052e5",
    "status": "active",
    "expires_at": null,
    "issue_date": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z",
    "max_ips": -1,
    "used_ips": [],
    "max_hwids": -1,
    "used_hwids": []
  },
  "customer": {
    "id": "...",
    "discord_id": "...",
    "customer_since": "2026-01-01T00:00:00Z"
  },
  "product": {
    "id": "...",
    "name": "Example Product",
    "enabled": true,
    "version": "1.0.0"
  }
}

10. Response Statuses

The Licensing API may return one of the following statuses:

11. Security

PMMPHub Licensing is designed with security in mind.

The Licensing API includes:

• HTTPS encrypted requests

• Encrypted license storage

• API rate limiting

• Verification logging

• Secure communication

• Creator-controlled licensing rules

12. Creator Dashboard

The Creator Dashboard provides complete control over your licenses.

Creators can:

• Search licenses

• View customer information

• View Discord account (if linked)

• View activation history

• Suspend licenses

• Revoke licenses

• Reset activations

• Configure licensing settings

• Manage every licensed product from a single dashboard

13. Best Practices

For the best level of protection we recommend:

• Verify licenses whenever your application starts.

• Enable HWID validation where appropriate.

• Do not embed secret API credentials directly into public source code.

• Obfuscate your licensing implementation where appropriate.

• Handle API failures gracefully.

• Keep your integration up to date.

No licensing system can completely prevent piracy, but proper implementation significantly increases the difficulty of bypassing license verification and helps identify unauthorized redistribution.

14. Frequently Asked Questions
