Product Definition

• PM Role

• Use Online Portal to define product in terms of

– Product Versions

– Features and Feature Sets

• No need to involve Engineering

• Multiple Products and Versions possible

• Quick and simple access via web browser

• Need only be updated when new versions or features

are introduced

Protect Application

• Engineering/Dev Role – minimal coding required

• Two aspects – code transformation & licensing enablement

• Licensing = Mapping Features to methods in source code

• Two approaches:

– Automated via integration with automated build environment

– Manually as a post build step

• Code Protector tooling for protection/licensing

• Multiple supported app environments (ASP, WPF, CRM etc)

• Frequency – applied once per release

– Changes required only if new features/methods added

Distribute

• Sales/Operations Role

• Single set of Redistributables/assemblies for all

customers

• Distribute as appropriate via CDN, SaaS etc

• Deploy on-premise or in the cloud (SaaS, hosted)

• Enterprise mass deployment mechanisms e.g. MS SC

• Separate from Activation Key distribution

– Intranet, Extranet, eCommerce, 3rd Party Marketplaces

• Automated via Web Services for SaaS applications

Create Licenses

• Product Management Role

• Generates Activation Key for end-user

• All license models supported

– Trial/evaluation, perpetual, subscription, usage-based etc

• Licenses can be created via the portal or via web APIs

– Create in real-time or pre-generate in batches

– Create SKUs from which individual licenses are issued

• Licensing & order processing & fulfilment integration

– Intranet, Extranet, eCommerce, 3rd Party Marketplaces

• Full audit trail of all license events

Activate License

• Customer or End user Role/Activity

• Installation & activation of protected software

• Multiple activation models

– Standard or Customised

– Online or Manual (Offline)

• Node locked or floating licenses
