      <guid>https://dev.to/_d6d392588a83dbd8d1eeb/licentivo-ai-assisted-software-licensing-looking-for-30-developer-testers-2gla</guid>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;I'm the developer of Licentivo, a software licensing API, dashboard, and set of SDKs. I'm giving away 30 free three-month Starter trials for developers adding licensing to desktop apps, plugins, command-line tools, or other software. AI-assisted integration is available to help you get started in your own project.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Claim three months free
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The first 30 redemptions receive:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Three months of the Starter plan free.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A 1,200-device quota.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;No monthly API-call limit.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Code: PROMO-FCBC409A407F&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Website: &lt;a href="https://www.licentivo.com/en/" rel="noopener noreferrer"&gt;https://www.licentivo.com/en/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Create an account, open the console, and go to &lt;strong&gt;Usage and billing → Redeem code&lt;/strong&gt;. You do not need to submit feedback to receive the initial three-month gift. Personal projects and small test apps are welcome.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The code is available to accounts registered on or after November 2, 2026, 00:00 UTC+8. Redeem by December 2, 2026, 20:34 UTC+8, or before all 30 places are taken. Each account may receive one initial three-month gift through this trial offer.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Add licensing with AI-assisted integration
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Licentivo brings together license activation, device limits, offline access, feature permissions, and floating seats. SDKs are available for Go, Java, C, C++, C#, Python, JavaScript, Rust, and Ruby. The website and console support English and Chinese.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;In the console, you configure your product and licensing policy, then copy the generated English integration prompt into your AI coding tool with your project open. The prompt covers SDK installation, protecting the relevant feature, activation, offline behavior, and checks.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The workflow is:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Create your product and configure its licensing policy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Copy the console's English integration prompt into your AI coding tool.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Review the integration changes and run your app.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Enter the activation key yourself and test the protected feature.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Manual SDK integration is available too.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Checks you can use in your own project
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A successful first activation is one part of the integration. These scenarios can help you check that the app follows your own policy:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Your first successful activation and any confusing setup steps.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Valid and invalid licenses at the protected feature.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Device limits according to your configured allowance.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Offline access after disconnecting and reconnecting.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Any manual work still needed after using the AI integration prompt.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Offline allowance and device limits are configurable. Compare the results with your own policy settings when investigating an issue.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;h2&gt;
  
  
  Optional feedback: up to three extra months
&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;p&gt;If you'd like to share feedback, each suggestion we adopt or bug report we verify earns one extra month. Each account can receive up to three additional months through feedback, for up to six months including the initial gift.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;For feedback extensions, email &lt;a href="mailto:support@licentivo.com"&gt;support@licentivo.com&lt;/a&gt; with your Licentivo account email and a clear description. For bugs, please include your SDK/language and version, operating system, reproduction steps, expected behavior, and actual behavior. Extra months are issued after verification.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I'm happy to answer integration questions in the comments.&lt;/p&gt;
