This helps protect their intellectual property and control the distribution and usage of their software. It provides a simple way to generate license keys, expiry dates, and other parameters.

In addition to generating licenses, the tool allows for the validation of licenses during the runtime of an application. It verifies the authenticity and validity of the license file, ensuring that only licensed users can access the software.
