ShareBlock is a unique software lock which also
provides user licence
management! |
ShareBlock
is a unique product; it doesn?t just issue multi-user licences, but
it actually enforces them! Conventionally there is no way of
ensuring that licences are purchased for every copy of a software
system in use; software piracy is a very real problem. Indeed, a
customer may purchase a single user licence and then, knowingly or
not, use the system on many different computers! Many companies are
also guilty of not knowing how many computers are using software and
therefore whether or not they are breaching the user licence
agreement! ShareBlock is an ActiveX control together with its
partner ShareUnblock. ShareBlock is added to a project to control
the use of the software. The ShareUnblock (ActiveX or DLL) is used
to generate a unique registration code, which will identify the
number of users the software is licensed for. ShareBlock then
controls the use of the software in accordance with that licence by
issuing registration codes for additional computers, hence
controlling the use of networked, or stand alone computers. The
function that controls the licence (i.e., which makes one computer
the User Licence Management Computer) can be transferred to any
other computer on a network (when networked) at any time. The
control integrates fully with its host application and yet still
controls most functions autonomously with the minimum of coding
required by the developer. ShareBlock and ShareUnblock (ocxs) can be
used in all compatible development environments, including web
pages. ShareUnblock DLL can also easily be used on Internet server
systems that support COM components, making the automatic issuing of
registration codes over the Internet a simple matter to set
up.:
-
ShareBlock
makes enforcing the user licence simple and foolproof, thereby
preventing unlicensed use and increasing revenue at the same
time!
-
Many
products on the market provide a ?software locking? facility, but
ShareBlock takes this idea one step further.
-
The unlock
(registration) code is unique to a single computer and therefore,
because the ShareUnblock control (and DLL component) can generate
registration codes based on the number of users required, the
ShareBlock control, once registered, instantly knows how many
users it is to manage
-
The
ShareBlock control manages other users by generating registration
codes itself for the other computers on the same licence.
-
The
licence can easily be extended if required simply by entering
another registration code; information about existing users is
retained.
-
The
ShareUnblock control and or DLL can be used on a Website to
automatically generate registration codes for customers when they
purchase the product. This means that the full system can be
supplied on an evaluation either by time limiting the product?s
use, or by crippling it in some way until it is fully licensed,
there is then no need for the customer to download the product
again.
-
Fully
supported by a Website technical support knowledgebase and also
e-mail support (once registered through our Website)
-
Comprehensive help files with example projects, and
suggestions, etc., showing how to use the ShareBlock and
ShareUnblock ActiveX controls and ShareUnblock DLL
component
Your
software is valuable, why let anyone be able to use it for
nothing?
And there
are lots of other things that ShareBlock makes
possible!
When a
program using ShareBlock is run on a computer the ShareBlock control
generates a Software Code unique to that PC. This software code is
then used by ShareUnblock (OCX or DLL) to generate a registration
code; this registration code tells ShareBlock, when entered into it,
how many users are entitled to use the product. The control itself
is then used to generate additional registration codes up to the
number purchased by entering additional software codes obtained from
the other computers. It is also possible to generate an
Authorisation code that can be entered into the control to allow an
existing computer on the licence to be overwritten with an
alternative one. This is a feature to allow change of computers for
a user, should they need to do this of course this is also in full
control of the developer because only they can generate the
authorisation code (which is time limited to prevent extended use).
All message and dialogue boxes in ShareBlock integrate fully with
the host application so that it blends seamlessly with it. Check out
our recent Press
Release for ShareBlock to find out more about the software and
who is using it.:
-
Software
protection, evaluation and selective locking facilities its uses
are limited only by the imagination
-
Protection
- only licensed copies can be run due to its ability to actually
manage the licence
-
Evaluation
- downloaded copies, which are time limited or ?crippled?, but
which can easily be upgraded to a full version simply by entering
a registration code no need for multiple downloads
-
Selective
locking - depending on how the developer chooses to use the
control. Either a whole system could be protected, or just parts
licensed separately by using multiple controls, requiring
additional registration codes to unlock the various parts. I.e.,
Standard, Professional and Enterprise editions could all reside
within the same system, being unlocked as appropriate by the
registration codes supplied when purchased
