Unofficial Keygen Rust SDK

The keygen-rs crate is an unofficial Rust SDK for integrating with the keygen.sh licensing service.
It provides a comprehensive framework for implementing software license management in Rust applications, including license validation, machine activation, and offline license verification capabilities.

Installing
Add this to your Cargo.toml:
[dependencies]
keygen-rs = "0.4"
Tauri Plugin
Tauri plugins for this SDK are available:
These plugins provide an easy way to integrate Keygen licensing into your Tauri applications. For more information, check the plugins' respective READMEs.
Config
KeygenConfig
Use KeygenConfig to configure the SDK globally. You should set this before making any API calls.
use keygen_rs::config::{self, KeygenConfig};
config::set_config(KeygenConfig {
api_url: "https://api.keygen.sh".to_string(),
account: "YOUR_KEYGEN_ACCOUNT_ID".to_string(),
product: "YOUR_KEYGEN_PRODUCT_ID".to_string(),
license_key: Some("A_KEYGEN_LICENSE_KEY".to_string()),
public_key: Some("YOUR_KEYGEN_PUBLIC_KEY".to_string()),
..KeygenConfig::default()
});
Usage
Validate a License
To validate a license, configure KeygenConfig with your Keygen account details. Then call the validate function with a device fingerprint:
use keygen_rs::{config::{self, KeygenConfig}, errors::Error};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
config::set_config(KeygenConfig {
api_url: "https://api.keygen.sh".to_string(),
account: "YOUR_KEYGEN_ACCOUNT_ID".to_string(),
product: "YOUR_KEYGEN_PRODUCT_ID".to_string(),
license_key: Some("A_KEYGEN_LICENSE_KEY".to_string()),
public_key: Some("YOUR_KEYGEN_PUBLIC_KEY".to_string()),
..KeygenConfig::default()
});
let fingerprint = machine_uid::get().unwrap_or("".into());
let license = keygen_rs::validate(&[fingerprint]).await?;
println!("License validated successfully: {:?}", license);
Ok(())
}
Activate a Machine
To activate a machine for a license:
use keygen_rs::{
config::{self, KeygenConfig},
errors::Error,
};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
dotenv().ok();
config::set_config(KeygenConfig {
});
let fingerprint = machine_uid::get().unwrap_or("".into());
if let Err(err) = keygen_rs::validate(&[fingerprint.clone()], &[]).await {
match err {
Error::LicenseNotActivated { license, .. } => {
let machine = license.activate(&fingerprint, &[]).await?;
println!("License activated successfully: {:?}", machine);
}
_ => {
println!("License validation failed: {:?}", err);
}
}
} else {
println!("License validated successfully");
}
Ok(())
}
Offline License Key Verification
To verify a signed license key offline:
use keygen_rs::{config::{self, KeygenConfig}, license::SchemeCode};
fn main() {
config::set_config(KeygenConfig {
});
let signed_key = "YOUR_SIGNED_LICENSE_KEY";
if let Ok(data) = keygen_rs::verify(SchemeCode::Ed25519Sign, signed_key) {
println!("License verified: {:?}", String::from_utf8_lossy(&data));
} else {
println!("License verification failed");
}
}
Error Handling
The SDK returns meaningful errors which can be handled in your integration. Here's an example of handling a LicenseNotActivated error:
use keygen_rs::{config::{self, KeygenConfig}, errors::Error};
#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Error> {
config::set_config(KeygenConfig {
});
let fingerprint = machine_uid::get().unwrap_or("".into());
match keygen_rs::validate(&[fingerprint.clone()]).await {
Ok(license) => println!("License is valid: {:?}", license),
Err(Error::LicenseNotActivated { license, .. }) => {
println!("License is not activated. Activating...");
let machine = license.activate(&fingerprint, &[]).await?;
println!("Machine activated: {:?}", machine);
},
Err(e) => println!("Error: {:?}", e),
}
Ok(())
}
Examples
For more detailed examples, please refer to the examples directory in the repository.
Testing
When implementing a testing strategy for your licensing integration, we recommend mocking the Keygen API responses. This is especially important for CI/CD environments to prevent unnecessary load on Keygen's servers and to stay within your account's daily request limits.
You can use crates like mockito or wiremock to mock HTTP responses in your tests.
