Creating & Configuring Products

What Is a Product in LicenseSpring?

A Product is a basic building block within the LicenseSpring universe. It typically represents your software application, but it can be many other things, such as a controller, an operating system, a plugin, etc.

You can define products, configure features and custom fields for products, create license policies for products, archive products, or reactivate an archived product.
