A software license key manager built for Windows
Most software license managers are Mac-only. Lycense is the rare one that runs natively on Windows — a single encrypted vault for every license key you own, with reminders before subscriptions renew and a running total of what you spend. It's free, local-first, and needs no account.
Why Windows users are stuck
The established license managers simply don't ship a Windows app:
| App | Platforms | Price |
|---|---|---|
| LicenseManagerPro | Mac / iPad only | Paid |
| Acana License Manager | Mac only | Paid |
| LicenseKeeper | Mac only (discontinued) | — |
| 1Password | Windows + Mac | $36/yr, no renewal reminders |
| Lycense | Windows + Mac | Free |
What you get on Windows
Every core feature, no limits: unlimited license keys, renewal reminders, monthly spend tracking, CSV import, and encrypted backup — all stored in a sandboxed database on your PC.
