key groups

a key system belongs to one script. that's fine for one game, but if your hub covers 30 games, that's 30 key systems, and a buyer who paid for “everything” needed 30 keys.

a key group fixes that. it's a set of your key systems with keys of its own. a group key works on every script in the group, through the same key screen players already know. the usual reasons:

• you sell one premium key for your whole hub.
• you give a tester or a friend access to everything at once.
• you want players to do your key page once, not once per game (that's sharing free keys).

1. open dashboard → key systems. under key groups, hit new group.
2. give it a name, like “premium” or “all games”. only you see it.
3. pick the scripts. each one needs its key system set up first. you can add more later.
4. under options, set a key prefix if you like (HUB gives keys like HUB-7K2M-…), and choose whether keys lock to one device and whether free keys are shared. both are explained below.
5. hit make group.

then make keys on the group's keys tab, the same way as on a script: temporary or lifetime, 1 to 100 at a time, with a note. temporary keys start counting on their first redeem, on whichever script that is.

a script already has a key system? its page has add to a key group too. to hand out group keys on every sale, have your store call the key group api.

group keys work even when anyone can get a key is off on a script, like the keys you make yourself. they don't open a script whose key system is switched off.

off by default. turn on keys earned on any key page work on every script and a player who gets a free key on one script's key page can use it on every other script in the group, until it runs out. if they open another script's key page from the game, it shows that key right away instead of the checkpoints.

good for players, and it means fewer key page visits: one per player instead of one per script. if you earn per ad view, that's fewer ad views. keep it off if every game should earn on its own.

with lock keys to one device on (the default), a group key belongs to the first device that redeems it, on any script in the group. a friend who borrows it gets “this key is locked to another device” on all of them, not just the first one.

new phone or pc? open the key on the group's keys tab and hit reset device. it frees the key on every script at once. shared free keys stay locked to the device that earned them.

nothing new. they run any script of the group, see its usual key screen, paste the group key, and it runs.

the loader keeps the key for the whole group on their device, so the other scripts of the group start on their own next time: no key screen, no pasting again. if a script is in several groups, it tries the key saved for each one.

a group only adds keys. every script keeps its own checkpoints, key length, branding, key page, keys and players tab. a group key used on a script shows up in that script's users tab, marked with the group's name.

only your own key systems can go in your groups, and nobody else can put yours in theirs.
