Project Overview

WebCoreVital Licensing System is a secure licensing, payment, and trial distribution platform built for a Windows software product. Users can request time-limited trial downloads or purchase license plans, while admins manage everything through a centralized dashboard.

Licensing System, and trial distribution platform

The Challenge

The biggest challenge in this project was effectively managing both the trial application downloads and the paid application distribution.

  • Smooth checkout flow with reliable payment verification
  • Prevent trial download link sharing and misuse
  • Admin control without hardcoded secrets
  • Security hardening for payments and downloads

Reliability was critical. In a licensing and trial distribution system, even a small UI or logic flaw can compromise trust, security, and payment confidence.

Our Role & Solution

We handled the project end-to-end, from initial concept through final deployment. Each page was carefully designed to handle data availability gracefully, ensuring users never encounter blank sections, broken flows, or inconsistent states.

  • Designed full licensing lifecycle from plan selection to license issuance
  • Implemented secure token-based trial downloads
  • Built admin dashboards with analytics and CSV export
  • Added DB-driven settings to toggle features without code changes
  • Optimized layout and structure with SEO best practices

Process & Approach

We followed a security-first, system-driven approach to build a reliable licensing, payment, and trial distribution platform.

1

Requirement Mapping & Architecture Planning

We analyzed business requirements, licensing logic, payment flows, and admin control needs, followed by database schema planning.

2

Security-First Implementation

Core security layers were implemented including CSRF protection, token hashing, session hardening, rate limiting, and secure headers.

3

Licensing & Trial Flow Development

We built the complete flow for trial token generation, expiry enforcement, revocation control, and secure license issuance.

4

Payment Integration & Verification

Razorpay and PayPal checkout, order creation, webhook verification, and success/failure handling were integrated and tested with real payment flows.

5

Admin Dashboard & Controls

Admin panels were developed for order analytics, CSV exports, download logs, token revocation, IP blocking, and feature toggles.

6

Testing, Hardening & Deployment

The system was fully tested, hardened using .htaccess rules, protected download paths, and deployed for scalable future growth.

Results & Outcomes

By following a security-first and admin-driven approach, the final solution delivered:

End-to-End Payment Flow

A complete and reliable checkout experience with order tracking, Razorpay and PayPal verification, and success/failure handling.

Admin-Controlled Operations

Full control over plans, payments, trials, downloads, and feature toggles through a centralized admin dashboard.

Secure Trial Distribution

Time-limited trial downloads protected by signed tokens, expiry enforcement, revocation, and audit logging.

Scalable & Secure Architecture

A future-ready backend designed for new plans, customer portals, and expansion without architectural changes.

The platform successfully combines enterprise-grade security with a smooth user experience — critical for modern SaaS licensing systems.

Key Takeaway

This project demonstrates how security-first architecture, admin-controlled systems, and well-defined licensing flows can simplify complex payment and distribution logic without compromising user experience.

For SaaS products, trust, control, and scalability are not optional — they are foundational.
