What is Docker?

Docker is a platform for packaging and running software in isolated containers, ensuring consistent performance across environments. It’s widely used for on-premise and enterprise deployments where control, portability, and scalability are critical.

How Docker Works with Devolens

Devolens enables you to license and manage Docker-based applications with precision — even when users run your software in completely offline or restricted environments. Licenses can be verified during container startup, updated on schedule, or validated through local files when the device or server cannot reach the internet.

This setup allows developers to maintain strong license enforcement while still giving enterprise customers flexibility in how and where they deploy.

Common Workflows

‍

• Container startup triggers Devolens license validation
  ‍
• License status cached locally for limited offline use
  ‍
• Permanent offline customers receive license files manually or via secure activation forms
  ‍
• Use our pre-built license server for offline licensing
  ‍

Devolens helps teams deliver containerized software with both security and practical offline usability, ensuring that your customers can stay compliant — whether they’re in the cloud or behind a corporate firewall.
