DLM Platform Update — March 2026
March 2026 brings major improvements to the DLM platform: faster license validation API, new webhook events, improved analytics dashboard, and the new public site launch.
March 2026 release
This blog post now renders public sections from Strapi blocks
The renderer can compose structured hero, rich-text, and FAQ sections on top of the legacy post body.
Why this is useful
Editors can gradually move key article sections into reusable content blocks while older long-form markdown stays intact below.
Renderer follow-up
Does this change the route render mode?
No. The route stays on the ISR/static path defined in CHG 16.
# DLM Platform Update — March 2026
We're excited to share what's new in DLM this month. This update includes performance improvements, new features, and the launch of our new public website.
## License Validation API — 3x Faster
We've optimized the license validation endpoint (`GET /v1/licenses/{key}/validate`). Response times are down from ~120ms to ~38ms on average, thanks to a Redis caching layer and query optimization.
## New Webhook Events
Seven new webhook event types are now available:
- `license.activated` — When a user activates a license on a new domain
- `license.deactivated` — When a license is deactivated
- `license.expired` — When a license reaches its expiry date
- `license.renewed` — On successful renewal payment
- `subscription.created` — New subscription started
- `subscription.cancelled` — Subscription cancellation request
- `payment.failed` — Payment failure for renewal
## Analytics Dashboard v2
The analytics dashboard has been rebuilt from scratch:
- **Real-time activation map**: See activations globally on a live map
- **Cohort analysis**: Track renewal rates by purchase cohort
- **Revenue attribution**: See which products drive the most MRR
## New Public Site
You're reading this on our brand new public site! Built with Next.js 15 and powered by this Strapi CMS backend, the site features:
- Improved SEO with proper structured data
- Faster page loads with ISR caching
- Full bilingual support (English first, Vietnamese coming soon)
## What's Next
In April, we're planning to launch:
- Organization-level license management (team licenses)
- The DLM API v2 with GraphQL support
- A mobile app for license monitoring
As always, feedback welcome at hello@dlm.vn.
