SoftActivate Licensing - Terms of Service (Beta)
Last updated: August 5, 2026. These terms apply to the SoftActivate Licensing service (the “Service”) during its beta period, in addition to our website Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
1. The Service
The Service provides software licensing capabilities - license key generation, license templates, online activation, subscription lifecycle management, and related analytics - delivered as a hosted service, together with a client SDK and a REST API. You access the Service through the management console, the API, and the client SDK integrated into your applications.
2. Beta status
The Service is currently offered as a beta. During the beta period: (a) paid plans are available for purchase as presented at checkout, and every paid plan starts with a 14-day free trial; (b) the free Demo plan carries no usage limits for the duration of the beta; (c) features may change, be added or be removed; (d) the Service is provided without availability commitments or service level agreements; and (e) at the end of the beta period the Service may be reset, with beta accounts and data deleted after advance notice. The only charges are those you explicitly agree to at checkout; there are no automatic charges at the end of the beta.
3. Your account
You must provide accurate registration information and keep your account credentials confidential. You are responsible for all activity under your account, including activity by team members you invite. You must notify us promptly of any unauthorized use of your account.
4. Your data
Data you submit to the Service - including your product definitions, license records, customer order data, and activation records - remains yours. We use it only to operate and improve the Service and as described in our Privacy Policy. You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the Service, including the personal data of your own customers that you process through it, complies with the laws applicable to you. Upon account deletion, your data is removed from the Service.
5. Acceptable use
You must not: (a) use the Service for any unlawful purpose; (b) attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service, other tenants' data, or the underlying infrastructure; (c) probe, scan, or test the vulnerability of the Service without our prior written consent; (d) resell or provide the Service to third parties as a standalone offering; or (e) impose an unreasonable load on the Service outside its intended use of licensing your software products. Sandbox environments are provided for evaluation and testing and must not be used to license production software.
6. Client SDK
The client SDK is licensed to you for the purpose of integrating your applications with the Service. You may distribute the SDK's runtime components as embedded in your applications. Beta SDK builds are unsigned and intended for evaluation and pre-release integration; verify downloads against the published checksums.
7. Suspension and termination
You may stop using the Service and delete your account at any time. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these terms, create security risks, or have been inactive for an extended period during the beta (with prior notice for inactivity). Where practical, we will notify you and give you an opportunity to export your license data before termination takes effect.
8. Disclaimer of warranties
THE SERVICE AND THE CLIENT SDK ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. THIS IS PRE-RELEASE SOFTWARE: YOU SHOULD EVALUATE IT CAREFULLY BEFORE RELYING ON IT FOR PRODUCTION USE.
9. Limitation of liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL SOFTACTIVATE OR ITS SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA OR BUSINESS, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. DURING THE FREE BETA PERIOD, OUR AGGREGATE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICE SHALL NOT EXCEED 100 USD.
10. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms during the beta period. Material changes will be announced through the console or by email to the account owner. Continued use of the Service after a change takes effect constitutes acceptance of the updated terms.
11. Enterprise agreements
Enterprise plans - including service level agreements, data processing agreements (DPA available on request), and dedicated deployments - are governed by separately negotiated agreements that take precedence over these terms. Contact us for details.
