In order to answer this demand, we have set up two different promotions for GOLD package.

The fist one, called Duo Pack allows to get 2 licenses (for Windows or Mac) with a discount of 15%. The second, called Family Pack will allow you to save 25% for 4 licenses. In other word, you get one license free when purchasing the family pack.

Reminder of our license model
According to our license model, a license is associated to a single machine. This means you cannot use your license key to activate KeyLemon on two different machines at the same time. You can however deactivate your license in order to transfer it to a new machine (see the procedure to transfer the license on Windows or Mac)

If you have any questions regarding the promotions or license model, feel free to contact us using our contact form.

Starting from version 2.6.2, KeyLemon also allows you to deactivate the software to transfer the license to a new machine.

Let’s say you have got a new computer and want to activate KeyLemon on this new machine. You have to options:

• buy a new license for that new machine on our website (in order to activate KeyLemon on both machines)
• transfer the license from your old machine to the new machine. This is done by deactivating the software on your old machine before activating it (with the same key) on your new machine.

To deactivate the software once activated, go to the LemonStore tab and click on the “Deactivate button”

How to update your version?

Either update from KeyLemon application (check the windows and mac articles) or download and run the updater manually using the links below:

• Windows : update to version 2.6.3
• Mac : update to version 2.6.3

The biometry testing has become easier. No more compilation or development tool needed!

How to test:

• Make a SDK request on Windows and receive your evaluation license by e-mail
• Download the SDK archive and execute it
• Copy the license from the e-mail to the previously extracted folder
• Start the KeyLemonSDK tester programs and follow the provided tutorials



Video capture library on C#

After introducing the capture from a Windows video acquisition device in C, we release a C# capture library that. This is a second library in .NET 2.0 made as a wrapper around the standard KeyLemonFaceSDK C library.



C# capture example

The source code of the WebcamTester application is available for your development. You will have code samples for getting image from webcam, face detection, model creation, model saving and loading, face verification and face identification. This should be a good point to start coding your own application in C#.

If you have already connected to an online account with a smartphone, you have noticed that it can be boring and error-prone to type the same words every time, everywhere. It is why users can save all login information in the browser and turn on the auto-fill feature. But, in that case, everybody having access to your mobile phone can now connect to your private online account with all your secrets… Despite its usefulness, this functionality is not very secure. So why not restrict access to other people? Why not enter a password before having access to all your account information? Or better, how convenient would it be if your face is your password?

“LemonLogin” allows users to protect all type of custom online accounts with nothing more than the user’s face. Moreover, if your online account allows it, you will automatically be connected without having to press one button.


As mobile phone users often change their location, “LemonLogin” can store multiple models of your face for every environment you will encounter. Of course, the face authentication process is fully customizable. Changing the detection threshold depends only on your convenience or security requirements. There is also other cool stuff to discover with “LemonLogin”, like the hijacker information storage or the customizable, drawing account design. This app will make all connections to your online accounts easier, more convenient and most importantly, secure.

The app is available on the Apple Store packaged with both a basic free version and a full functional paid version.

Finally, take a look at what can be done with our SDK on Android and iPhone


Video capture library

KeyLemon is now introducing the capture from a Windows video acquisition device. This is a second library made as a wrapper around the standard KeyLemonFaceSDK. Some C code examples illustrate how to make a face model, verify or identify the identity and detect liveliness (anti-spoofing method) by counting the eye-blinks.

Easy and fast SDK performance evaluation

Testing on Windows and Mac is now automated, just fill the SDK license request and instantly get a 30-day trial license per e-mail with a download link. The SDK archive contains a small pre-compiled utility that you can use to evaluate the algorithm performance. This tool performs face detection, face model creation, face recognition and face identification



KeyLemonFaceSDK use cases : Android and iPhone

KeyLemon uses its SDK to develop some applications. You can have a look at what is possible to do with our KeyLemonFaceSDK on android and iPhone. The Android app takes a picture each time you unlock your device and append the photos to do a face evolution movie if you’re recognized. If someone else unlocks you device, the photo is taken and the GPS coordinates are saved. On iPhone, the app allows you to access some sites (Facebook, Gmail…) without having to enter your credentials, just by looking at the device. The hijackers are also saved with the GPS position.

What is LemonDay?

KeyLemon is now introducing the new plugin LemonDay. Each time your face is recognized, an updated photo will automatically be stored in your computer. LemonDay allows you to tracks your face evolution by saving automatically one image day after day. Collect photos of yourself, create a movie of your evolution and share it in the most simple and effective way.


A short movie of the LemonDay is available http://www.keylemon.com/LemonDay

Why LemonDay?

KeyLemon already takes pictures of non-authorized users and it is always fun to see those faces. We thought it would be cool if we could store a daily picture of yourself. By nature, KeyLemon needs your face to login, so why not automatically store a picture of you? By the way, it is very funny to see how often you change your T-shirt or which your favorite Sweater is.

The app implements KeyLemon face recognition technology, with the aim to demonstrate its use on a mobile / tablet device. It allows to enroll the face of a user and to verify that the user facing the camera is the one enrolled.“KLFSDKDemo” is the result of several months of hard work from KeyLemon Engineering team. “KLFSDKDemo” is powered by a face recognition Software Development Kit (SDK) developed and available at KeyLemon.

The video below illustrate “KLFSDKDemo” in use:



Unfortunately the “KLFSDKDemo” is not available for the public. We are still under development of a new product which is currently under alpha testing. The new product, coming soon on Android, will come with an hijacker function and social integration with Facebook.

If you would like to be informed about the release of the “KLFSDKDemo” app, please sign in to our newsletter or follow us on Facebook / Twitter.

We are excited to announce that KeyLemon 2.5 is now available for the world, just one monhts after 2.4.4.

This new release comes with two main new features:

1. Multiple face model management
2. Anti-spoofing check for login

1. Multiple face model management

The profile tab has changed significantly and allows you to add new face models to improve recognition in different lightning environment.



For each face model, you can see under the model name:

• the number of authentications (number of time you have been logged using this face model)
• the mean time of recognition

These statistics will allow you to judge the “quality” of the face model as we will explain below.

When you select a model, the details of the selected model appear on the right side. Note that you still have the possibility to “improve” (previously called “adapt”) an existing face model.

When do you need to improve your model or add a new one?

When you create your face model, it will be optimized for the current conditions (luminosity, position, intensity, isotropy or background).

The face recognition can fail if they are too many differences between the face model and the current conditions. This could happen when the sun’s light is changing or if you’re moving with your laptop.

In this case, you have now two solutions:

1. improve your face model
2. add a new facemodel

1. Model improvement

If the recognition works sporadically or takes a long time (mean authentication time is high), you can improve an existing model to adapt it to the current conditions. The model will be modified to take the 2 situations into account.

The adaptation wizard is similar to the model creation wizard. For more information, please refer to the article on how to create your face model in our userguide.

2. Add a new facemodel

If the new lighting conditions are too different between the first model and when you want to improve it, KeyLemon cannot process an improvement, so a new face model will be created.

You can force a new model creation by clicking “Add a new face model”. A good habit would be to give as new name for this face model the name of the current place (for example “office” or “home”), or current time (for example “office morning” or “office afternoon”).

Note for those updating from a previous version: this new feature will require that you create your profile again.

2. Antispoofing check for login

For those of you who want more security, KeyLemon offers now a new feature to detect is someone is trying to spoof the system (typically, if someone use a picture of you to gain an illegitimate advantage to log into the system).

The antispoofing algorithm works as follow:



The first anti-spoofing detection is performed in parallel with the recognition. Once both of these processes validate, a blue eye icon appears in the top right corner of the video stream. Now blink your eyes once to log into your session.

To activate this feature, check the “anti-spoofing check for login” option in the general tab of KeyLemon Control Center



Other new features

Sometime, you are not very satisfied of the thumbnail picture which is saved for your face model. You would better have another facial expression. For this reason, we added in the last step of the face model creation wizard the possibility to choose between several picture that were used to create your face model.



Here below are reported the new features and bug corrections from our release notes on Windows:

Release Notes Windows New features LemonFox plugin compatible with Firefox 7 New model adaptation method, multimodel Improved anti-spoofing algorithm, eye-blinking Face thumbnail choice Fixed bugs LemonFox settings not saved properly Windows desktop detected as fullscreen application Position of the windows with multiple monitors Hijacker notification

How do I update to the last version ?

This is our 17 release of KeyLemon and comes just two monhts after 2.4.2.

The focus for this release was to bring together Windows and Mac versions of KeyLemon. On Mac, the plugin LemonScreen has now been renamed LemonLock (as on Windows since version 2.4). Also LemonLogin plugin integrates now the screen lock (allows to unlock your session using face recognition). Login into the correct account at boot up will come soon on Mac.

Among the common new features on Windows and Mac, we have now added a notification if hijackers have been captured when logging back into the session.

On Windows, clicking on the notification balloon will display the hijacker picture directly. On Mac, we remind that Growl is required to display such notification.

We also added the opportunity, once you ended your trial period, to extend it by submitting your feedback. For this click on the “extend trial” button.

This will open a new window in which you answer some questions. Your trial period will be extended once you have submitted the survey.



Here below are reported the new features and bug corrections from our release notes on Windows and Mac:

Release Notes Windows New features LemonFox plugin compatible with Firefox 5 Trial limitation in days instead of number of logins Possibility to extend trial period after feedback submission Hijacker notification after capture Biometry improvement : recognition possible at a farther distance from the webcam Fixed bugs Fullscreen application detection Updater timeout causing incomplete download of update Unability to quit the Control Center if it asks for a new password

Release Notes Mac New features Security Levels Hijacker notification after capture French, german, spanish and portuguese translations “Don’t lock if fullscreen application” feature avoids the automatic lock of your computer while you are watching a movie, doing a presentation,… LemonScreen plugin is now called LemonLock (standardization with Windows version) Possibility to extend trial period after feedback submission Fixed bugs KeyLemon logonscreen not closed after Screensaver restart (while locking)
