Give your app its own Telegram licence bot, for free

Connect your own Telegram bot to a PWF Auth app: customers claim their key, see the time left and move to a new PC; your team makes and bans keys from the chat; and a buyers' group lets in only people with a valid key

Your customers already live in Telegram, so that is where they look for help with their key. With PWF Auth, each of your applications can have its own Telegram bot, with your name and your photo. Customers manage their keys there, your team works from the chat, and a private buyers' group stays for buyers only. It costs nothing: you make the bot yourself in BotFather and connect it in a minute

Connect a bot

In Telegram open @BotFather and send /newbot. Pick a name (what people see) and a username that ends in bot
BotFather answers with a token like 123456789:AAE…. Copy it
In your panel open the Telegram bot page, pick the application, paste the token and connect. The page checks the token, gets the bot ready and sets its command menus
Open the owner link that appears (a button or a QR code) and press Start. Your Telegram account becomes the bot's owner. The link works once, for 15 minutes

The token is stored encrypted and never shown again. One bot serves one application

What your customers can do

Claim a key: /redeem, or simply send the key. A key claimed by one Telegram account can't be claimed by another, and ten wrong keys in ten minutes pause the sender for a while
See their keys: /mykeys lists each key with its status and the time left, and a New PC button
Move to a new PC: /resethwid frees the key for a new PC, by your app's own self-service rules
Join the buyers' group: /vip gives the group link to people holding a valid claimed key

The bot only ever finds keys of its own application, and it answers in the private chat only. A command typed in a group gets a short pointer to the private chat, and a warning when someone pasted a key there

Your team works from the chat

Under Team on the bot page, make a one-time link (15 minutes) and send it to a helper, or scan its QR code yourself. Up to 10 people, each an owner or staff. From then on they can:

/create 30 5 2 note: five 30-day keys for 2 PCs each, with a note (0 days makes lifetime keys). /create alone asks with buttons
/info KEY: status, time left, devices, sign-ins, who claimed it and which reseller sold it, with buttons to reset, ban, add 30 days or delete
/ban KEY reason and /unban KEY, /resethwid KEY, /addtime KEY 7, /removetime KEY 7, /delete KEY
/stats: the app's keys and who is online right now

Everything goes through the same code as the panel, and shows in each key's activity with the helper's Telegram name, so you always know who did what

A buyers' group that guards itself

Add your bot to a Telegram group or channel as an admin, with Invite users via link and Ban users
Pick that group under Buyers' group on the bot page

The bot makes an invite link that needs approval, and approves only people holding a valid claimed key. Every 10 minutes it removes the people it let in once none of their keys is valid any more: expired, banned or deleted. They come back after a renewal, and people the bot did not let in are never touched

Make it yours

Write a welcome message of up to 600 characters: the first thing customers read, followed by the command list. Activity shows the last 25 things people did with the bot, with refused ones in red

The full guide, with every command, is in Telegram bot
