keygen-sh/example-react-license-validation

An example implementation of validating a license key from within a React component.

Example React License Validation

This is an example React app for validating a license key. It contains a single React component which handles a license key input from a user and then validates the key using Keygen's software licensing API.

This example application is not 100% production-ready and only serves as an example implementation, but it should get you 90% of the way there. You may need to also add additional logging, error handling, or license validation persistence.

Running the example

First up, configure a few environment variables:

# Your Keygen account ID
export KEYGEN_ACCOUNT_ID="YOUR_KEYGEN_ACCOUNT_ID"

You can either run each line above within your terminal session before starting the app, or you can add the above contents to your ~/.bashrc file and then run source ~/.bashrc after saving the file.

Next, install dependencies with yarn:

yarn

Then start the app:

yarn start

Testing the app

Visit the following url: http://localhost:8888. Input a license key and it will be validated against Keygen's licensing API.
