How does ONEKEY help with software license management?

ONEKEY records license information for every detected component straight from the binary and writes it into the SBOM as a valid SPDX identifier. Licenses are detected through rules, package manager metadata, lock files and Go binaries. The Evidences tab shows which method produced each attribution, and incorrect entries can be corrected manually.

How does ONEKEY automate open source license documentation?

License documentation falls out of the analysis itself: each component carries name, version, update, file count, vendor, product and license. Export runs as CycloneDX JSON or XML, or SPDX JSON or XML version 2.3 – formats legal teams and auditors process directly. Every new build repeats this automatically.

How does ONEKEY support license management for regulatory compliance?

ONEKEY produces a complete SBOM per firmware version with per-component license data, in SPDX or CycloneDX format as regulatory evidence generally requires. The global components view finds every firmware containing a given component or version. Comparing analyses documents which release first introduced a license. The audit trail records every change.

What does ONEKEY offer for open source compliance management?

Three building blocks: automated license detection from the binary using SPDX identifiers, SBOM export in CycloneDX 1.2–1.7 or SPDX 2.3, and analysis comparison that flags added or dropped components by name, version and update. Legal interpretation of the obligations stays with your legal team – ONEKEY supplies the underlying data.

How does automated license management work with ONEKEY?

Upload the firmware, ONEKEY extracts it with unblob, detects components and their licenses, and builds the SBOM from that. You can attach your own SBOM at upload time. Both sources merge into a single component list. With monitoring enabled, the analysis reruns daily and emails you whenever the component list changes.

Does ONEKEY’s license management include compliance tracking?

Yes – through analysis comparison. Every run is stored as its own entry in Analysis History, and comparison flags added or dropped components by name, version and update. With monitoring enabled the notification arrives by email, but only when something actually changed, so unchanged runs generate no noise.

One Solution, Many Benefits

Automated SBOM Generation from the Binary

Automated SBOM Generation from the Binary

ONEKEY generates SBOM data directly from firmware binaries, identifying packages, versions, and dependencies even when supplier data is incomplete. This gives your team a reliable basis for release reviews, customer requests, and regulatory documentation.

CVE Prioritization Based on Your Actual Firmware – Not Generic Component Lists
Automated Impact Assessment

CVE Prioritization Based on Your Actual Firmware – Not Generic Component Lists

ONEKEY checks whether each CVE actually matters in your firmware and filters out findings that are irrelevant, mitigated, or not exploitable. This removes more than 60% of false positives, so your team focuses only on vulnerabilities with real product impact.
