License Management Integrations
Third-party licensing integrations
FastSpring integrates with several third-party license management platforms. These tools help you generate and distribute license keys for your digital products after purchase.
FastSpring provides the infrastructure to trigger license generation during checkout, but the third-party provider handles all licensing setup, key logic, and support.
Core integrations with dedicated guides
These integrations have their own dedicated setup pages with step-by-step instructions. You can use these if you're working with more advanced licensing solutions or need platform-specific guidance.
