License keys are typically created and delivered via a license generator once a software user has paid for the software and has agreed to the terms and conditions set out in the End-User License Agreement.Ī software licence key (also known as a product key) certifies that a copy of a program is original. From a software developer standpoint, the purpose of a software licence key is to prevent the developer’s software from being copied, shared or otherwise illegally used (aka pirated) by non-licensed users. The basic idea is that only users that have acquired the appropriate licence will be issued with a licence key enabling them to install or use the software. Software licence keys are used in various copy protection schemes.
