SoftwareShield System is a licensing and copy-protection software suited for Windows app developers. Its use saves development time and costs, offering all necessary features.
One of the standout features of the SoftwareShield System is the flexible licensing models available to use. The system supports a range of license models for you to choose from, including trial (evaluation licenses), time-limited (lease), and demo (evaluation licenses).
The Trial license is set for a specific time period (usually the issue date) and may have limited functionality compared to the full version. Alternatively, the demo may expire after a predetermined period of time or number of uses. The Time-limited license provides a specific expiration date for product evaluations and leases – vendors may also issue licenses that repeatedly expire to enforce a periodic lease payment.
The Demo license provides users with a limited functionality version for evaluation purposes, featuring less functionality compared to the full version. You can also enable and disable product features for your licensed products, which is particularly useful when you want to license a single set of product binaries across different versions.
The Pay-per-use licensing model is based on actual usage, with license fees being calculated based on metrics such as CPU use, the time running, or the number of times a specific feature was executed. Lastly, the Node-locked (named-host) model licenses software for unlimited concurrent use on a single computer system.
Overall, the SoftwareShield System provides developers with a powerful and flexible solution that can accommodate countless combinations of licensing requirements, allowing them to create the exact license needed for their software.
