TEAM Central policy

One file runs the fleet.

Write the rules once, push policy.json with your MDM next to the licence key, and every computer follows them on its next start.

  • Everyone sees the same computers. Servers, NAS and team members appear in every list, in groups, and users can't delete them.
  • Decide who may send. Only your subnet or named computers; trusted ones skip the question.
  • Stop what you don't want. Block .exe or scripts, cap the size, send everything to one folder.
  • Turn things off. Phone sharing, sync, text or the AI connector, per organisation.
  • Check before you ship. lanshare policy check policy.json finds typos and mistakes.

TEAM Automation

Files that move themselves.

Hand the routine work to LAN Share: folders that send, scripts that react, an API for everything else.

  • Hot folders. Whatever lands in Outbox/Accounting goes to the accounting group, then moves to Sent. Half-copied files wait until they're complete.
  • Actions on arrival. Run your script with the saved paths: virus scan, OCR, import into the ERP, a message in the team chat.
  • Local API. POST /v1/send from any script or program on the computer, protected by a token.
  • And your AI assistant. The MCP server knows the same computers and groups.

BUSINESS Audit and compliance

Every transfer, on record.

Who sent what to whom, when, how big, whether it was encrypted and which key the other computer used. Including what the policy refused, and why.

  • Audit folder. One file per computer and month on a network share, append-only JSON lines.
  • Syslog. Straight into your SIEM (Splunk, Elastic, Graylog, Sentinel).
  • Webhooks. Signed with your secret (HMAC-SHA256), to your endpoint, n8n or Zapier, and on to Slack, Teams or Jira.
  • Export. lanshare audit export --days 90 --format csv for the yearly review.

New LAN Share Hub

One screen for the whole office.

A small console you run on your own server or NAS: lanshare hub serve, or in Docker (built from hub/Dockerfile) behind your own HTTPS proxy. Everything stays in a folder on your server, nothing goes through ours. Computers join with one command, check in every 5 minutes and pick up policy changes without MDM; with Business, every transfer lands in its audit search.

  • Overviewcomputers online, policy rollout, transfers per day, recent changes
  • Fleet and groupssearch, filters, tags and notes, bulk actions, stale computers

Silent installation

Deploy in one line.

Install LAN Share as usual, then put the key (and, with a subscription, policy.json) where the app looks for them. On its next start it activates itself, names the seat after the computer and applies the policy.

  1. 01Push the app with Jamf, Intune, Ansible or Group Policy.
  2. 02Write the key to one file (or LANSHARE_LICENSE_KEY), and policy.json next to it.
  3. 03Done. Every seat shows up in your Lemon Squeezy portal.
Jamf · Kandji · Intune script (root)
$ mkdir -p "/Library/Application Support/LAN Share"
$ echo "YOUR-KEY" > "/Library/Application Support/LAN Share/license-key"

Activation fails (every seat taken, no network)? It tries again the next day; nothing is shown to the user.

Included

Made for the IT desk

No accounts with us and no cloud in the path. A seat pack needs nothing to run; with a subscription, the Hub is optional and runs on your own server.

01

Invoice with VAT

Lemon Squeezy is the merchant of record. Enter your VAT number at checkout: EU VAT is reverse-charged and the invoice arrives by e-mail.

02

Silent activation

A key file or an environment variable. The app activates itself on the next start, names the seat after the computer and retries quietly if it must.

03

Move seats

Replace a laptop? lanshare license deactivate on the old one frees the seat. Reinstalling the same computer never takes a second seat.

04

Works offline

Each computer checks the licence about once a week and keeps every feature for 30 days without a connection.

05

No cloud in the path

Files go straight between your computers, encrypted (Noise, ChaCha20-Poly1305) and checked with SHA-256. Nothing is uploaded anywhere.

06

One port to open

TCP and UDP 45821 on the LAN (changeable). Outside calls: the licence check with Lemon Squeezy (the key and the computer's name), the daily update check to lanshare.io (can be switched off), and your own Hub, if you run one.

Questions

Before you buy

Subscription or one-time seat pack?

A one-time seat pack is Pro for an organisation: it unlocks the Pro features on that many computers, forever. A subscription adds what an IT team needs to run them: the central policy, automation, the API, the Hub and, with Business, the audit log and webhooks.

What happens if we stop the subscription?

The computers fall back to the free version: they still send and receive, nothing is deleted, the policy simply stops being applied. Renew and everything is back.

Does any of this need a server or the cloud?

No cloud, and no server of ours. The policy is a file, the audit log goes to your own folder or syslog server, and files still go straight between your computers. The Hub is optional and runs on your own server. Outside calls: the licence check with Lemon Squeezy (the key and the computer's name) and the update check to lanshare.io, which you can switch off.

Can we pay by bank transfer?

Yes. Request a quote with your company details; you get an invoice to pay by transfer and the key as soon as the payment arrives.

We need more than 50 computers.

Ask for a quote with the number of computers. Larger fleets are priced per computer, below the 50-computer price.

Can we try it first?

Yes: ask for a 30-day trial key for your team. The free version also works without a key, on any number of computers.

What counts as a computer?

One computer with the key activated, whoever uses it. Phones and tablets that use the QR page don't count.

Where do we see the seats in use?

In the Lemon Squeezy customer portal (each seat is named after its computer), and with lanshare license status on a computer.

And the Mac App Store version?

It's a paid app for personal use: every Pro feature, no key. It has no organisation features (no policy, Hub, audit, webhooks, hot folders or local API) and no terminal command. For a managed fleet, use the download from this site. The differences: editions.

What are the licence terms?

On the licence terms page.
