SVKP Licensing
Protected application can behave differently, depending on license it runs
with. SVKP License is just simple file, that contains information about user who
bought software, and restrictions to application usage.
When protecting, you can decide if application will run without license.
Allowing application to run without any license, can be used together with
Protected-Blocks to create limited (demo) version of application. When user
decides to buy software, he gets the license, and application becomes full
version.
You can also limit application to run only until specified date, or to run only
specified number of times. These limitations apply only when application runs
without license. This allows you to create trial version of application. see
TimeLock
Inside application that runs without license, it is possible to purchase license
online from within the application. You let user fill in registration and
payment information (credit card number etc.), application connects to license
server, server performs the payment, and sends license back to application. See Online Registration.
When you do not want trial or limited version of application, you can lock
application so that it will not run without license at all.
Inside the license, you can specify the date until which it is valid. After this
date, the license cannot be used anymore.
License can be bound to specific operating system install and hardware
configuration. Then, it cannot be used on different system or computer.
You can create different editions of your application just with licensing. You
can enclose parts of application in
feature blocks. Every block can be enabled or disabled in license. This also
makes upgrading to another edition just a matter of new license.
