What is Quick License Manager (QLM)?

Quick License Manager (QLM) is a robust framework designed for licensing protection, enabling the generation of secure and professional keys to safeguard your software against unauthorized use. It allows for the creation of various types of licenses, including perpetual, subscription, and trial keys, with options to lock licenses either by node or in a floating/concurrent manner. QLM offers protection for applications developed in .NET and ASP.NET, as well as C++, VB6, VBA, Delphi, and various Microsoft Office add-ins, along with compatibility for Android, OS X, and Linux platforms. The intuitive graphical user interface facilitates easy management of license keys, and with minimal code, you can effectively secure your application. Additionally, the framework supports automated email notifications to customers through selected triggers, and e-commerce integration streamlines both the licensing and ordering processes. It also features analytics tools to monitor usage patterns, while customers benefit from a Self-Help portal that provides assistance and resources. You can also implement a Trial Registration Form to enable customers to easily request a trial license, ensuring an efficient and user-friendly experience. This comprehensive approach not only enhances software security but also improves customer engagement and satisfaction.

    Excellent customer support

    Date: Jan 27 2023
    Summary

    Overall, we have been very satisfied with QLM and recommend it to anyone considering a similar system.

    Positive

    We have been using QLM for 5 years in our application and it has worked flawlessly so far. The management console is easy is to use. The licensing system itself is robust and we have faced no downtime. In addition, whenever we had any configuration issues we received excellent customer support.

    Negative

    The only con i can think of is that management console is perhaps a bit slow to respond sometimes.

    Negative

    So far haven't had any issues with QLM. However, we suggest more frequent updates for WordPress plugin.

    Fantastic product, superb company and support

    Date: Feb 19 2022
    Summary

    QLM is an excellent product, it's easy to use (even by a non-developer like me), works beautifully, and provides many integration options with other systems. What really stands out with Soraco is their level of support and commitment to their customers. The support has been beyond amazing since day 1, and they continue to exceed my expectations. I have worked at many software companies of different sizes for the past 15 years and I find that the support at Soraco is unparalleled! Thank you and way to go Soraco! Wish you continued success and growth.

    Positive

    Rich features, ease of use.
    Above and beyond support.
    Analytics capabilities that come with enterprise are very useful.
    You the ability to implement an email nurture process based on conditions is a huge plus for those who have online trials.

    Negative

    Can’t think of any. There has been a solution for every request I had, and the company is always improving and innovating to stay ahead of customer needs.

    QLM trouble

    Date: Feb 23 2022
    Summary

    Came back from vacation and QLM wasn't working anymore. Support was super helpful getting me going again especially since I had no idea what had happened when I was gone.

    Positive

    The support agent answered my email very quickly and after some back and forth had me all set up and ready to go with ease.

    Negative

    Nothing.

    Flexible, fully-featured, affordable licensing solution

    Date: Mar 17 2022
    Summary

    Overall, QLM is very flexible which allows us to use it in new ways as our product portfolio matures.

    Positive

    Here is just a short list of why we like QLM:
    - Node-locked, floating, and subscription license models
    - On-premise or cloud-based floating license models
    - Maintenance plans and automatic downloads
    - Multiple 3rd party webstore integrations
    - Online web access
    - Automated reports and customer emails
    - Ability to store custom data to build custom dashboards in Excel/Power BI
    - Very prompt and helpful customer support
    - Frequent fixes and releases, actively developed and improved

    Negative

    - The built-in analytics charts are too generic, but thankfully the ability to store custom data allowed us to store our own data and build our own custom dashboards in Excel/Power BI
    - Minor UI nuisances like how sorting and grouping are lost after refreshing the tables or limited bulk-editing capability

    Quick License Manager is core to my business

    Date: Mar 17 2022
    Summary

    Winthrop Development Consultants searched for a solution to look after the subscription licensing requirements for our addon products for Microsoft Dynamics GP.

    Quick License Manager (QLM) from Soraco has been a vital component in running my business.

    The support has always been excellent.

    During the initial implementation, I was able to get assistance with how to make all the API calls to get my application and management tools working.

    Ongoing support has been responsive and any technical issues have been resolved quickly and efficiently.

    They have also been really good with feature requests and a number of my ideas have already been incorporated into the product.

    I am happy to recommend this product.

    Positive

    The flexible design allowed me to change the way the product was originally designed (for licensing on individual machines) to work for licensing an instance of enterprise level software (Financial Accounting/ERP system) across multiple workstations within the system.

    I was able to create my own interface within my application with calls to the QLM APIs to allow it to handle my requirements. Including starting free trial periods without needing to contact us.

    I also created my own license management tool using the QLM APIs which is also integrated with PayPal and Email so it can send out subscription renewal invoices and renewal notice emails.

    We are hosting our server with QLM which means we don't need to set up or maintain the infrastructure.

    Negative

    None really.

    I would like to see some more fields in the tables for storing custom or user defined data. This feature request has been made and hopefully will show up in the QLM product soon.

    - Easy to set up and use in your project.
    - Excellent support.
    - Reasonable cost.
    - Many licensing options.

    Ease of use and responsive customer service makes this one of the best if not the best product on the market!

    QLM Licensing Software

    Date: Jun 22 2022
    Summary

    QLM is easy to use and made licensing easy for our application. Overall this is a great program at a great price.

    Positive

    We've been using the software for about 7 years now and it has worked extremely well for us. It was easy to integrate with our software and its user interface makes it easy to navigate to quickly generate license keys.
    Support has been very good the few times that we needed it.

    Negative

    Too many columns of data we don't need, the ability to remove these columns and only display the data we use would be nice.

    Great product, simple and very well planned

    Date: Jul 18 2022
    Summary

    Overall we are very satisfied and will continue to use it in our current and future applications. Once we understood how the solution works, the integration in new applications that can be developed later is extraordinarily fast and the speed of support in case of doubts has convinced us to use it.

    Positive

    We use it in bimlearning to manage our software licences and we love it for its ease of integration, process automation, automatic sending of activation keys, ease of activation-deactivation and quick and efficient support when doubts arise.

    Negative

    Frankly, so far it has been all advantages, for us, who work in Spanish, the most complicated thing has been working in English, a version of the application in Spanish would be appreciated, although it has not limited us in its use.

    Powerful License Management Made Simple

    Date: Jul 18 2022
    Summary

    It’s been a pleasure and ease to use, it integrated seamlessly with our multi platform solutions and we will likely continue to use it for our licensing needs in the future.

    Positive

    QLM is easy to set up, reliably quick and packed full of features. It has more features than we have needed to use this far, but those we have used have never failed to meet our expectations. Customer service is reliable and of the times we have had to reach out for things like transferring or renewing a license, the process was smooth and easily accomplished.

    Negative

    Machine based licensing can be a hassle in some environments; we’ve regularly had to change machines due to office moves and other changes and when we do, we sometimes have to reach out to support to release a license so we can re-install and configure the product on a new machine.

    Functional and reasonably priced product

    Date: Jul 18 2022
    Summary

    The software works well and is reliable. We have been happy customers for over 2 years. It is a good solution that allows you to grow within the framework at a reasonable cost. The UI/UX experience in the desktop software could be improved.

    Positive

    The software has all the functionality we need to license management at a fair cost. The software meets all of our needs.

    Negative

    The user interface and user experience could be improved. As a non technical founder, i often find navigating the desktop tool can be a challenge.

    A great product for Excel applications protection

    Date: Jul 18 2022
    Summary

    A great and flexible product that satisfies all needs you have to protect several kinds of software with a solid help desk. Recommended.

    Positive

    Great flexibility managing licences and software (products and versions) you made.
    Easy to use for the user of the software, internet connected or off line.
    Top help desk.

    Negative

    Creating more detailed and up-to-date video tutorials would help maximize the exploitation and enhancement of QLM. Its flexibility and power, if not adequately illustrated, can paradoxically represent a limit.

    Works as intended

    Date: Jun 09 2022
    Summary

    For every new system it is normal that you need some time to understand and use it in the right way. The Onboarding worked quite smooth.

    Positive

    We decided to give it a chance and we will now stay with it.
    Not being forced to use your own licensing system is really a big time saver for us.

    Negative

    I would be nice to be able to pay for a year in advance.
