Axix Hawk: Enterprise Software Licensing Infrastructure for ISVs
Issue, enforce, and revoke licenses with cryptographic proof.
Axix Hawk helps software vendors run production-grade licensing for on-prem and hybrid software — with cryptographically signed license blobs, per-tenant isolation, a white-label vendor console, and a lightweight on-prem agent for enforcement. Stop revenue leakage from piracy and casual over-deployment while giving customers a transparent, auditable license experience.
Why ISVs Choose Axix Hawk for SaaS License Management
Building licensing in-house drains engineering for years — key generation, offline grace periods, feature flags, revocation, and compliance reporting rarely stay simple once enterprise buyers arrive. Axix Hawk packages these capabilities as managed infrastructure so your team ships product features instead of license servers.
From indie ISVs to multi-product vendors, Hawk scales from a single application to hundreds of tenants with PostgreSQL row-level security, Redis-backed job queues, and OpenTelemetry-ready observability.
Core Capabilities
Cryptographically Signed License Blobs
Every license is a 2048-bit signed blob bound to machine or deployment identifiers. Tampering invalidates the license instantly. Customers receive human-readable entitlements while your agent validates signatures locally — including air-gapped environments.
On-Prem Agent & Heartbeats
The axix-agent installs with a single command, verifies licenses offline, sends heartbeats every 30 minutes, enforces feature gates, and enters a 48-hour grace period if the server is unreachable. Revoke from the dashboard — detected on next heartbeat.
License Lifecycle Control
Issue, renew, upgrade, suspend, and bulk-revoke licenses from a vendor console or API. Webhook events notify your CRM, billing, and support systems when entitlements change — keeping customer success aligned with contract reality.
Go & Python SDKs
Fast integration with production SDKs: initialize the client, require features at runtime, and query license status without reinventing crypto. The Go SDK uses stdlib-only dependencies for minimal supply-chain risk.
Multi-Tenant Vendor Console
White-label console for each ISV customer with strict tenant isolation, role-based access, and exportable audit trails for SOC 2 and enterprise security reviews.
Compliance & Security
Tamper-evident audit trails, AES-256-GCM key encryption, HMAC-signed webhooks, and Keycloak-ready identity integration. Hawk is built for vendors who sell into regulated industries.
Technology Stack
Fastify + TypeScript API | PostgreSQL + Drizzle ORM | Redis + BullMQ job processing | Next.js vendor console | Keycloak integration | OpenTelemetry instrumentation — a modern stack your DevOps team already knows.
Built For Software Vendors Who Cannot Afford Piracy
Desktop tools, industrial software, creative suites, security appliances, and vertical SaaS with on-prem components all need enforceable entitlements. Axix Hawk protects revenue without hostile DRM — customers stay in control of their data while you stay in control of your license terms.
✓ISVs shipping on-prem or hybrid products
✓Vendors migrating from home-grown license servers
✓Teams needing SDK-based feature gating
✓Enterprises requiring audit-ready license history
Frequently Asked Questions — Axix Hawk
Does Axix Hawk work fully offline?
Yes. The on-prem agent validates signed licenses locally and continues enforcing entitlements during network outages, with a configurable grace window before requiring successful heartbeat contact.
Can we migrate existing license keys to Axix Hawk?
Migration tooling and professional services map legacy keys to Hawk entitlements. Most vendors run parallel validation during a transition window before cutover.
Which languages are supported for in-app enforcement?
Official Go and Python SDKs ship today. REST APIs allow custom integrations for C++, .NET, Java, and other runtimes.
How does Hawk handle multi-product ISV portfolios?
Each product can have independent SKUs, feature flags, and renewal schedules under one vendor tenant with consolidated reporting.
Is Axix Hawk only for on-prem software?
Hawk is optimized for on-prem and hybrid deployments where customers host your software. Cloud-native SaaS with centralized auth may use Hawk for edge, air-gapped, or OEM bundles.
