Looking for a Cryptolens alternative?
Meet Keymint. Explore a modern, developer-first licensing platform designed for fast integrations, device-locked activation, and flat transparent pricing.
When to choose Cryptolens
Cryptolens is a good choice if you are targeting large enterprise agreements, require highly specific hardware lock metrics (like CPU/motherboard IDs), or have legacy .NET Framework applications.
Why developers switch to Keymint
Keymint provides a far more modern developer experience (DX), a clean and responsive dashboard, and simple pricing. Cryptolens's UI and API architecture are complex and dated. Keymint offers modern developer-first APIs, simplified pricing, and modern SDKs designed for web, cloud, and cross-platform desktop frameworks.

Export your license attributes and user data from the Cryptolens dashboard via Excel/CSV export.
Import customer profiles with the dashboard CSV importer or POST /customer, then generate new keys with POST /key.
Embed Keymint's modern SDK into your software, replacing Cryptolens's legacy namespaces.
Ship the updated version to your clients with their new Keymint-native keys.
Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions from developers looking to make the switch.
Does Keymint support offline activations?
Yes. Keymint generates signed cryptographic files (.lic) that carry the product ID, the machine code they were signed for, and an expiry. Your software can load and verify these files offline without making any network calls.
Can I preserve old Cryptolens keys during import?
No. Keymint generates new license key strings. You can import customer names and email addresses, then map other attributes to the new licenses as you issue them.
