HTML to EXE Offline Hardware-locked License Tutorial

Compared to online verification solutions, the offline hardware-locked license has the advantage of not requiring a server connection. Authorization is completed through locally generated machine codes and activation codes, making it more suitable for projects with high data security requirements or no internet access.

Offline Hardware-locked License Implementation​

Step 1: Basic Configuration​

After launching the tool, enter the webpage URL to be packaged on the homepage (supports http/https protocols or local paths). It's recommended to fill in the Software ID (to distinguish different projects) and configure window size, icon, and other parameters as needed.

Step 2: Enable Encryption​

Switch to the "Encryption Settings" tab and check the "Requires Activation Code" option:

  • You can set a usage time limit (days)
  • You can set a usage count limit
  • You can set the software to close every 24 hours of runtime

Step 3: Generate Unactivated Program​

Return to the homepage and click "Start Packaging". When the generated EXE runs for the first time, an activation window will appear. Click "Cancel" to automatically copy the machine code.
