Your first project, step by step.

Dashboard → New project

Give your project a name and choose the default license expiry. Keep HWID Binding enabled if each key should belong to one device, then select Create Project.

You can start with a manual key. Checkpoint providers can be configured later.

Project → Overview → License keys → Create

Open your project and select Create in License keys. Choose a duration and when its timer starts. Leave Custom Key blank to generate a key, then select Generate Key and copy the result privately.

For a device-bound test, leave FFA off. A first-use timer starts on the first successful validation, not when you copy the key.

Project → Loaders → Add loader

Paste your Lua/Luau source or upload a .lua or .txt file. Review the protection and access controls: Full VM protects new payloads and required generated stubs, while Off/passthrough supports unobfuscated code or code protected by your own obfuscator. Keep Key check enabled for licensed access. Choose the pinned loader release (Stable/Main 1.0.0 or Beta 1.0.1), then select Add loader to publish. The screenshot shows only the older source panel, not these release or protection controls.

After publishing, copy the dashboard’s loader snippet. Use your test key in the supported game client, then check that an invalid or banned key is denied. Keep your original source locally for future replacements.
