Questions & Answers

Chiave is a hosted licensing dashboard built by Wigley Studios. It lets you manage license keys, customers, and product definitions through a web interface — no self-hosting required. Think of it like Stripe for license management.
No. Chiave runs entirely in your browser at chiave.wigleystudios.com. After subscribing, you get a private dashboard that's ready to use immediately. Your desktop app validates licenses by calling the Chiave API.
Yes. All plans let you add your Stripe API keys. On the Unlimited plan, you can also configure a webhook secret so that when a customer buys your software, Stripe notifies Chiave and a license is issued automatically. On Starter, you create licenses manually from the dashboard or via the API.
Your dashboard and data remain accessible in read-only mode for 30 days after cancellation. During that window, your customers' license validation endpoints stay live so their software isn't affected. You can still view licenses, customers, and settings — but creating or modifying data is disabled. Reactivating your subscription restores full access.
Yes! Chiave offers a free 30-day trial with no credit card required. You get the same features as the Starter plan (500 licenses, 100 customers, 2 products). When your trial expires, your dashboard becomes read-only — but your existing license validation endpoints stay live, so your customers' software won't be affected. Upgrade anytime to restore full access and keep all your data.
No. Pricing is flat based on your plan. Whether you issue 10 licenses or 10,000, your monthly cost stays the same.
Yes, you can switch between Starter and Unlimited at any time. Upgrades take effect immediately; downgrades take effect at the end of your current billing period.
