Softwarekey Protection Plus Crack
With Instant Protection PLUS 3, you can enforce license compliance and provide copy protection for your software. The license server supports automated online.
Copy Protection You want paying customers, not stolen software. Copy protection encourages honesty among honest people and protects against strategic theft. Dissuade theft by requiring a license key and activation for every computer installation. Fingerprinting technology detects unlawful copying and allows you to control the number of devices allowed per license. Allow customers to install on specific PCs and/or for specific named users. Increase revenue by converting illegal copies into trials and more.
Encryption The license file stores the status of the license along with the authorized computer fingerprint. This file is encrypted to make it difficult for a user to modify. Your application can use our SDK to read encrypted and digitally-signed license files using XML formatting for high flexibility and extensibility, across all supported platforms. We use industry-standard public-key cryptography and digital signatures. Employ either or both read-only and writable license files to balance security and flexibility for different licensing approaches. Subscription Licenses Moving from a perpetual, non-expiring model to a subscription model holds advantages for you and your software users. Many large companies have already required existing customers to migrate from a perpetual license to a license by subscription.
Subscriptions provide an opportunity to actually lower the user's entry-level price. More people can access your software via the lowered barrier to entry. This popular model can increase your total revenue over time.
Advantages:. Fully automate and manage a subscription version of your software. Offer various subscription lengths. Set terms of subscription renewals and cancellations.
Subscriptions can be tied to software activation or can simply be used as a record of data related to software maintenance expiration. Easily maintain subscriptions:. Notify customers when expiration date is approaching or has passed. Allow customers to renew their subscription manually or use an integrated recurring billing and payment plan engine for automatic renewal payment processing. Create and Track Evaluation Versions Try before you buy is a must have option in your sales and marketing arsenal. More users will be exposed to your software by offering an evaluation period. Another benefit is that illegal copies of your software can be automatically converted into a trial version so that you instantly have a new prospect for your software.
Set up the trial how you would like:. Create evaluation licenses based upon time or number of executions.
Provide access to all product features or limit features to encourage purchase. Require activation of the trial on first use or let it run automatically while making it difficult to re-install to gain additional usage. Prospective customers can download a trial version of a software application & receive automated marketing emails if they do not purchase within a specified time frame. Under the control of network floating licensing, software can be installed on many or all computers throughout your customer's organization allowing a prescribed number of end-users (determined by the software license) to run the software at the same time. For applications that mandate Internet access or if Internet access is available to your customers when they run the software, the concept of Network Floating Licensing can be implemented using a central server on the Internet, known as Cloud-Controlled Network Floating Licensing. A recent brainstorming session in the SoftwareKey offices attended by the members of our architecture team yielded the following lineup of contemporary licensing models to serve as a stimulant for consideration and discussion by software authors who may be just starting to scratch the surface of software licensing methodology. When it comes to pay-per-use or consumption-based licenses, we here at SoftwareKey have come up with some fairly amusing nicknames for the various usage-based models which we imagine could be useful.
