🛡️ AstraGuard.SDK - Stripe for Software Licensing

The modern .NET SDK for protecting your applications with license management.

🚀 Quick Start

Installation

dotnet add package AstraGuard.SDK

Basic Usage (One-Liner)

using AstraGuard.SDK;

var guard = new AstraGuardClient(
    apiUrl: "https://api.astraguard.io",
    productId: "YOUR-PRODUCT-ID"
);

// One-liner protection: Verify license or exit automatically
await guard.VerifyOrExit(userLicenseKey);

// ✅ Your application code runs here - license is valid!
RunYourApplication();

That's it! Your application is now protected.


📦 Features

✅ License Validation

  • HWID Binding: Lock licenses to specific devices
  • Auto-Verification: Automatic hardware ID generation
  • Instant Validation: Fast API verification

📡 Cloud Configuration

  • Remote Control: Change settings without redistributing
  • Kill Switch: Emergency shutdown capability
  • Feature Toggles: Enable/disable features remotely
  • Live Updates: Configuration updates during runtime

🔒 Security Features

  • Anti-Debug: Detect and block debuggers
  • Code Integrity: Detect file tampering
  • Heartbeat Monitoring: Continuous license validation
  • Event Handlers: React to security events

🎯 Developer-Friendly

  • One-Liner Protection: Minimal integration code
  • Full Control: Advanced API for custom workflows
  • Type-Safe: Full C# type safety
  • Well-Documented: Comprehensive examples

💡 Usage Examples

1. Basic Protection

var guard = new AstraGuardClient("https://api.astraguard.io", "PRODUCT-ID");

// Simple verify and exit
await guard.VerifyOrExit(licenseKey);

// Your app runs here
Console.WriteLine("✅ Licensed application running!");

2. Advanced Protection with All Features

var guard = new AstraGuardClient("https://api.astraguard.io", "PRODUCT-ID");

// Enable security features
guard.EnableAntiDebug();
// guard.EnableCodeIntegrity("YOUR-EXECUTABLE-HASH");

// Event handlers
guard.OnLicenseInvalid += (s, e) => Console.WriteLine("License invalid!");
guard.OnCloudConfigUpdated += (s, config) => UpdateFeatures(config);

// Verify license
var result = await guard.VerifyLicense(licenseKey);
if (!result.Valid)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Invalid: {result.Error}");
    return;
}

// Start heartbeat for continuous validation
guard.StartHeartbeat(TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5));

// Your application
RunApp();

// Cleanup
guard.StopHeartbeat();
guard.Dispose();

3. Cloud Configuration

// Check maintenance mode (kill switch)
if (guard.IsMaintenanceMode())
{
    Console.WriteLine("App is in maintenance - exiting");
    return;
}

// Get custom variables
string? motd = guard.GetCloudVariable("motd");
Console.WriteLine($"Message: {motd}");

// Feature toggles
bool premiumEnabled = guard.GetCloudVariable("premium_mode") == "true";
if (premiumEnabled)
{
    EnablePremiumFeatures();
}

// Access all variables
foreach (var kvp in guard.CloudConfig)
{
    Console.WriteLine($"{kvp.Key} = {kvp.Value}");
}

4. Custom HWID

// Use auto-generated HWID
await guard.VerifyLicense(licenseKey);

// Or provide custom HWID
string customHwid = "MY-CUSTOM-DEVICE-ID";
await guard.VerifyLicense(licenseKey, customHwid);

// Get the auto-generated HWID
string hwid = AstraGuardClient.GetMachineId();
Console.WriteLine($"Device ID: {hwid}");

🌐 Cloud Configuration Examples

🔐 Security Features

Anti-Debug Protection

guard.EnableAntiDebug(onDetected: () =>
{
    Console.WriteLine("Debugger detected!");
    // Custom action before exit
});

Code Integrity Verification

// Get your app's hash (run once, store on server)
string hash = CodeIntegrity.GetExecutableHash();
Console.WriteLine($"Hash: {hash}");

// Enable integrity checking
guard.EnableCodeIntegrity(hash, onTampered: () =>
{
    Console.WriteLine("App has been modified!");
});

Heartbeat Monitoring

// Continuous validation every 5 minutes
guard.StartHeartbeat(
    interval: TimeSpan.FromMinutes(5),
    onInvalid: () =>
    {
        Console.WriteLine("License became invalid!");
        // App will auto-exit
    }
);

🎯 Integration Workflow

  1. Developer (Hans Peter) creates account on AstraGuard
  2. Creates product in Dashboard (gets Product ID)
  3. Generates license keys for customers
  4. Integrates SDK into his application:
    await guard.VerifyOrExit(licenseKey);
    
  5. Distributes app to customers
  6. Customer enters license key → App validates → Runs!
  7. Hans Peter can:
    • Revoke licenses remotely
    • Send messages via Cloud Config
    • Enable/disable features
    • Emergency shutdown (kill switch)

🛠️ Error Handling

var result = await guard.VerifyLicense(licenseKey);

if (!result.Valid)
{
    switch (result.Error)
    {
        case "Key not found":
            Console.WriteLine("Invalid license key");
            break;
        case "Key is revoked":
            Console.WriteLine("License has been revoked");
            break;
        case "HWID mismatch":
            Console.WriteLine("License bound to another device");
            break;
        default:
            Console.WriteLine($"Error: {result.Error}");
            break;
    }
    return;
}
