Most developers eventually face the same challenge: software licensing. How do you: • enforce paid plans • prevent unauthorized usage • manage licenses • avoid expensive SaaS licensing platforms? So I built ZLF — Zenworks Licensing Framework. It’s a self-hosted commercial licensing system that runs on a simple VPS (about $15/month). ZLF includes: ✔ License API server ✔ Machine binding ✔ Plan enforcement ✔ Integrity protection ✔ Python SDK ✔ One-command installer You can deploy the entire system in an afternoon and keep full control of your licensing infrastructure. No vendor lock-in. No expensive recurring services.

Zenworks Licensing Framework delivers on its promise as an affordable, self-owned alternative to Keygen and Paddle. For Python developers comfortable managing a VPS, it's an excellent way to enforce licensing without giving up 5-10% of revenue or dealing with vendor lock-in. The combination of machine binding, file integrity checks, and simple SDK is powerful. It's not for everyone — particularly teams needing broad language support or those uncomfortable with self-hosting — but for its target audience of indie devs tired of recurring SaaS costs, it's a strong solution.
