Are there tools for licensing personal Fortran programs?

[GTA]

Hello all,

My company has recently decided to bring to market a program that is completely written in Fortran. Unfortunetly, our current licensing software does not allow for the licensing of Fortran programs, and I've been unable to find any company that does make a licensing software specifically for Fortran.  Does anyone know of one?

-Thanks!

Does your current licencing software allow for licencing of C programs?  If all that is required is to call a C api, then that's typically easy enough to do from Fortran.

Polyhedron have a system with text-based, but signed license files.  I'm using it to control our in-house IP contained in our applications.

I have used QuickLicenseManager from Interactive Studios for generating software keys in a quick and easy manner. The keys can be made machine-specific, expiry-date protected, time unlimited etc.

You need to use Windows API functions to put keys into the registry and examine them, and deploy an Interactive Studios DLL with your product.(I have no commercial links with the vendor).
