Are You Developing The Commercial Software?
Was your software designed for use on limited computers amount? A purchased software license is formally limited to a workstations amount? Despite this, your software is being used by a large amount of users?
Do You Want To Sell Much More?
Most of the customers buy a single license, but they are using it within many PCs, besides that, they are using it simultaneously. Just think about it, how many licenses have not been bought, because of the fact, that your software can be simultaneously started on many stations freely. How many purchases have been doomed because of it? You might be able to increase your profit in case if the number of started instances of your software is limited with the number of licenses bought.
Limit Simultaneously Running Instances
We are offering you a new library, which controls the amount of running software instances within the local network. The library’s calls are easy to embed in a source code. It allows to quick start its use. With its help your software is monitoring amount of simultaneously running instances within the local network and preventing additional instances to be started. The practical use shows the growth of purchases in several times from the very beginning of the library use. In addition to the monitor functionality, the library allows to list the workplaces where your software is running. Also, the special library’s functions allow terminating any of your software instances running within a single command.
Note: The library is just a monitoring tool and has no influence on the running software instances. All application behavior is designing by you according to the library specifications.
Basic Features
The library is monitoring the local network for all running software instances, using a unique instance identifier (usually Order ID). If the number of running instances is over the license limit, your software can prevent the starting of an instance violating the license agreement or it can terminate any of the instances running. Also, your software can warn an end-user about the license agreement violation and recommend purchasing additional licenses. As a rule, this kind of a message works pretty well.
