Planning on adding licensing to a (.Net) product I'm working on and haven't ever needed to worry about licensing in the past.

Any software devs here have a preferred 3rd party licensing product they use?

Right now looking at http://www.softworkz.com. It's cloud-based, so the validation and license creation are all on their servers.

Other options--
http://www.nalpeiron.com/
netlicensing.io
http://docs.licensespot.com/sell/store-integration/
http://www.eziriz.com/intellilock.htm (cracked)

Easy Digital Downloads also has a software licensing Addon (I believe WooCommerce has one as well), should you want to include the licensing inside of a WordPress install (should you have one). It works with desktop apps.

Why not creating one yourself? It's easy to do and you get full controll over your implemtations.

If you're already a programmer, can you not roll your own and save paying fees to someone else? Should be able to knock one up in a few hours.
