🚀 Introducing the Licensing Project: End-to-End License Management Made Simple

[bsayli]

📢 Welcome to the Licensing Project!

Hi everyone! 👋

This repository is my playground for building and experimenting with a licensing system.
It brings together different components that work hand-in-hand to handle license generation, validation, and integration:

• 🔑 license-generator — Java project for license key creation & encryption samples
• 🖥 licensing-service — Web service providing core license validation
• 📦 licensing-service-sdk — SDK to integrate licensing features into your own apps
• 💻 licensing-service-sdk-cli — Command-line tool for quick testing & interaction

---

🚀 What You Can Do Here

• Spin up the full stack with Docker Compose (Keycloak + Service + SDK)
• Use the CLI tool to validate licenses from your terminal
• Explore sample scripts for automation
• Learn by checking out the modular architecture (service + SDK + CLI separation)

---

💡 Why I Built This

I wanted a hands-on, end-to-end licensing demo — from generating a key all the way to validating it in a client application.
It’s not only a coding exercise but also a reference for projects that may need licensing in the future.
