Trusted by builders shipping real products
Teams and solo developers use AuthGuards for licensing, auth, and API security—here’s what they’re saying.
The API is boring in the best way—predictable responses, clear errors, and docs that matched what we shipped.
Discord plus HWID without duct-taping five services together. Our users link accounts and we sleep better at night.
We reviewed the validation flow for a client and were comfortable recommending it for their commercial product.
Webhooks keep billing and license state in sync. When we had an API question, support answered the same day.
Subaccounts and branding let our downstream partners look professional without giving them full admin access.
First big sale weekend we validated hundreds of keys with zero downtime. Dashboard made it easy to spot abuse fast.
Free tier was enough to prove the integration; upgrading was straightforward—no surprise limits buried in fine print.

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about AuthGuards—from your first license to production API and billing.
12 questions
No questions match your search or filter. Try different keywords or choose “All”.
How do I get started after I register?
Create a project (or use the default workspace), define at least one product or application, then issue your first license from the Licenses area. The dashboard walks you through linking keys to users or subscriptions. When you are ready, grab your API credentials from project settings and follow the developer docs to validate from your app.
Is there a free tier or trial?
You can sign up without a card and explore the platform with a limited number of licenses and core features so you can integrate and test end-to-end. When you outgrow the free limits, upgrade to a paid plan for higher quotas, advanced automation, and priority support—your data and keys carry forward.
How do I create, revoke, and manage license keys?
Use Licenses → Create to generate individual keys, batches, or time-bound entitlements. Assign each key to a product, tier, or subscription as your model requires. You can pause, revoke, or rotate keys anytime; clients with a revoked key will fail validation until you reactivate or issue a replacement. Audit trails and logs help you see who activated what and when.
What is HWID locking and can users reset their device?
Hardware ID (HWID) locking ties a license to a machine or installation fingerprint so the same key cannot be shared across unlimited devices. You control whether resets are allowed, how often, and whether they require approval or support contact. This reduces casual piracy while still letting legitimate users move to a new PC when your policy allows it.
What happens if a license is banned or compromised?
You can ban keys or users from the dashboard or via API; validation will reject them immediately. If a key was leaked, revoke it and issue a new one—optionally invalidating older activations. For widespread abuse, combine bans with rate limits and logging to identify patterns without disrupting paying customers.
How does API validation work from my application?
Your app sends the license key (and optionally user or session context) to AuthGuards’s API; the response indicates whether the key is valid, expired, or bound to the expected environment. Use HTTPS, cache responses only where safe, and handle edge cases like clock skew and offline grace periods as documented. Client examples are provided for common languages.
Can I receive webhooks for license and user events?
Yes. Configure webhook URLs in your project to receive signed events—for example activation, deactivation, subscription changes, or bans. Verify signatures on your server before acting on payloads, respond quickly with HTTP 2xx, and use retries or idempotency keys for critical workflows like provisioning or CRM updates.
Is the API rate limited?
API requests are rate limited per project and credential tier to keep the platform stable for everyone. Typical validation calls stay well under limits when implemented with short-lived caching and batching where appropriate. If you expect bursts—such as launches or migrations—contact support to discuss higher limits or enterprise options.
What payment methods and billing options are supported?
AuthGuards works with major card and wallet flows through integrated payment providers where available. Billing can be monthly or annual depending on your plan; invoices and receipts are accessible from your account. Reseller or custom billing may be available—ask sales if you need invoicing or purchase orders.
How do plan upgrades and downgrades work?
Upgrading usually takes effect immediately with prorated charges or credits according to your provider and plan rules. Downgrades may apply at the next renewal so you keep continuity for active licenses. Review the upgrade page in the dashboard for current prices and feature matrices before you switch.
How is customer and project data protected?
Traffic is encrypted in transit; sensitive settings and keys are stored with industry-standard practices. You should treat API secrets like passwords—rotate them if exposed and scope subaccounts or team access to least privilege. Read our privacy policy for retention, subprocessors, and how to request data-related inquiries.
Can I integrate Discord or social login for my users?
Many teams link Discord or OAuth providers so end users sign in with familiar accounts while AuthGuards still governs license state. Exact integrations depend on your plan and the channels we support—check the docs and dashboard integrations section for the current list and setup steps.
