What's new in version 5
There are many improvements and changes for V5 of our products, not least the change from a product based model to a service based one - we now use the SaaS (Software as a service) model.
The move to being service based has many benefits to clients:
New licensing paradigm, where all the rights are now controlled server side
We now offer FREE support, maintenance and updates
The core technology is always up to date, essential in beating the crackers
Customers can now use any platform they wish for no extra cost (Win/Mac)
Everything is centralized and automated instead of being seperate apps
Integration is better and easier as we no longer need extra support files
It's all online, 24x7x365, so it's much easier for collaboration and access
In addition there are many feature additions:
- Both V4 and V5 products can co-exist
- Fixed end dates are available
- Trial periods now decrement to minutes (as well as days)
- Web services are now available for V5
- There is a Visual Studio integration kit
- New class libraries for even faster integration
- License code generation is fully automated and instant
- User definable 5 digit data now included in the DLL
- A full range of license code types allows for many new sales models
- Licensing on-the-fly allows for instant changes in the field, post deployment, no re-install
- 100 modules, with both trial and activation characteristics
- Now you can deploy a single binary to control all product flavors
- More security across the platform
- Greater code flexibility - 999,999 license codes per product; 99,999 products per customer
- DLL versioning and history
- Activation controls to optionally prevent the "moving" of a license
- New control activation "license manager" utility to optimize customer brand and ease of use
- More robust and automated registration capability
Feature differences:
- VMWare blocking is optional now
- Ghost blocking has more options
- Now only the filechk.dll to deploy, no support DLLs
- 18 digit license codes instead of 15 digit
- The client side API is extended and a web services interface is available
- Modules have increased from 16 to 100 and are nameable
- The production of the DLLs, manual unlock codes and demo restarts is **now done online**
- The older license controller is now retired
- The older ways to manually activate are being retired and being replaced server side
What's the same:
- The basic client side "technical" infrastructure is the same as V4
- Same service and license table data schema so there's no need to replace these
