Independent software developers lack a secure, turnkey storefront to sell one-time payment PC software without risk of unauthorized redistribution.
Existing e-commerce platforms (e.g., Gumroad, Sellfy) may not offer PC-specific licensing mechanisms (e.g., machine locking, serial key validation) out of the box, and building a custom licensing system is complex and time-consuming.
