How do I validate a license key with ValidonX?

Send a POST request to /api/v1/integration/licenses/{licenseKey}/validate with your X-API-Key header. The response includes valid (boolean), license status, expiry date, and entitlements as a flexible JSON key-value object.

ValidonX is a multi-tenant SaaS licensing platform that provides license key validation, device activation tracking, entitlement enforcement, and usage metering via a REST API. Software vendors use it to manage licensing for their products.

How do ValidonX entitlements work?

Entitlements are a flexible JSON key-value store on each license. You define whatever keys make sense for your product (e.g., {"plan": "pro", "domains": 5, "api.access": true}). They are returned in the license validation response and can also be checked via the /entitlements/check endpoint.

What programming languages does ValidonX support?

ValidonX provides a REST API that works with any language. Official SDK examples and copy-paste client classes are provided for PHP, JavaScript/Node.js, Python, and cURL. The API uses standard JSON over HTTPS.

How much does ValidonX cost?

ValidonX offers a free Starter tier (1 product, 100 license keys, 10,000 API calls/month), a Pro tier at $49/month (5 products, unlimited keys, 100,000 API calls/month), and custom Enterprise pricing with unlimited everything and dedicated database.

Deactivate Device

Last updated: Phase 8.5

Deactivation is handled through the Tenant API or Admin API, not the Integration API. This is by design — external applications should not be able to revoke their own activations.

How to Deactivate

Via Admin API

Admins can revoke activations through the admin dashboard or API. Contact your ValidonX administrator.

Via Tenant Dashboard

Tenant users can manage activations at /app/activations in the developer dashboard.

Programmatic Deactivation

If your use case requires programmatic deactivation, use the Tenant API with a Bearer token:

DELETE /api/v1/tenant/activations/{id}
Authorization: Bearer {token}
X-Tenant-ID: {tenant-id}

Note: This endpoint requires tenant token ability, not an API key.

Activation States

Status	Description
`active`	Currently active
`suspended`	Temporarily suspended
`revoked`	Permanently deactivated

Revocation sets deactivated_at and status = 'revoked'. It is non-destructive — the activation record is preserved for audit purposes.
