The License Management System

Purpose-built for
Manufacturers in channel sales.

You’ve already built a great product. Sharlic takes care of the last mile: it keeps licenses alive, renewals on track, and channel economics under control — so your partners can sell more, handle less admin, and you lose fewer customers to avoidable churn.

You’ve done the hard part. We handle the messy part.

You’ve moved your product toward subscriptions and recurring services. You’ve built a license or account infrastructure that works well with your product. Your partners want to sell more of it.

And yet, day to day, there’s still:

  • License keys that expire if someone misses a renewal date

  • Support tickets when a service stops because a key wasn’t extended

  • Partners doing manual work just to keep track of what’s active where

Your product is working. It's just that the “last mile” of license management has become its own problem.

A license management layer that makes keys behave like subscriptions.

Sharlic doesn’t replace your existing license setup. It wraps around it and adds what the channel needs:

  • A clear link between each license/subscription and the distributor, integrator, and end customer involved

  • Rules for how long it should stay active, when it should renew, and what happens at expiry

  • Logic so services keep running as long as the customer is paying — without needing a new key every time

How it works

The initial order becomes a managed service

When the first order is placed, the license is registered in Sharlic and tied to the correct distributor, integrator, and end customer.

Sharlic extends the same key instead of minting new ones

Come renewal, instead of issuing a new key, Sharlic manages the lifecycle of the original key: status, dates, history, linked contracts, and partner context.

Payment equals continuity

When the end-customer invoice is paid, regardless of who in the channel sends it, Sharlic tells your systems to keeps the license active. If it’s not, Sharlic can apply your rules (grace periods, suspensions, etc.).

Revenue shared with all partners

Sharlic can track and inform how much each partner should receive as part of the licence sales, enabling you to invoice the end-customer while still staying true to your channel and still ensuring everyone get their fair share.

If your distributors or integrators also use Sharlic, your services automatically appear in their Service Delivery Hub, making it even easier for them to manage, renew, and report on them. If they don’t, Sharlic still gives you a controlled, consistent way to run licenses through the channel.

Sharlic runs the model you choose.

You don’t have to redesign your commercial model to make it channel-friendly. Sharlic supports the way you want to charge, and makes it operational in a multi-tier ecosystem.

We can handle:

  • Annual and multi-year terms

  • Monthly or recurring plans

  • Consumption-based models

  • Hybrid setups: Example: base annual fee plus metered add-ons, or bundles where different components follow different billing rhythms.

Let your channel sell more without drowning in license admin.
