SG Licenser ActiveX DLL by SG Inware
Protect your application from illegal use and build evaluation versions, too. SG Licenser can both protect and evaluation license control your applications. You can also set extendable time limits on functionality, set up software to expire after a certain period of time, number of uses, or both.You can even transfer licenses from one computer to another.
Once an SG Licenser application is run on a machine, it is permanently bound to that PC, both during evaluation and after purchasing. However, this does not mean that the software cannot be used on other PCs, the component can be configured to allow a license to be transferred between PCs, enabling the license on one, while locking it on the other.
The component is written to take advantage of the Microsoft ActiveX technology, therefore it can be used in any system that supports it - Visual Basic, Visual C++, etc. And as ActiveX is an extension of OLE the component can even be used in Word documents, spreadsheets, in fact any package that supports OLE.
The SG Licenser component provides three separate groups of functions, these provide application protection, license parameters/configuration and license removal facilities.
Evaluation Operation - The basic scenario for application evaluation is that the host application is to be made available for a limited trial period - after this period the application should become inoperable, at least until the software is purchased or an agreement made to extend the trial. The SG Licenser component would cater for the above scenario with the following set of procedures: At design time decide on the necessary property values (such as Product Name, Product Key (password),License Type and Max Days/Uses), also decide on any additional functionality that is needed - such as custom parameters, secondary key, etc. Set the properties for these accordingly. On a specific event in the application (main form load [VB] is a typical example), the license is checked by calling the SG Licenser component with the GetLicense method (in the event of first run you have to call the InitLicense Method previously). At this moment you can either display a license/registration form, or display a message with licensing information to the customer. Once the application is purchased, you give the Register Number to the customer (use LicManager to generate Registration Numbers). Allow the customer to introduce Registration Number to get a permanent license for your application. Once the application is registered, next call the GetLicense method will return a status of "License registered" .
License Extend operation - You can extend evaluations periods using the ExtendLicense Method. In this way you can rent your software or simply allow the customer to have extra time to evaluate
License Transfer Operation - A customer has a registered license of your application. He needs to change his computer and install the application in the new computer, so he needs to transfer the license to the new PC. You can allow this simply by calling the TransferLicense Method, which removes the license in the old computer and provides the register number for the new PC
Parameters/Configuration Operation - You can customize your application allowing access to different functionality, or allowing to register different editions of your application. Use the GetParameter and SetParameter properties to limit the access to some functions in your software or to manage customer information. Use the SecondKey property to generate licensing control for different editions (basic edition vs. professional edition, etc..)
Using SG Licenser you can add the following features to your application:
Software protection and evaluation
Allow evaluation either as a number of uses, a number of days or a combination of both
Allow the evaluation period to be extended for further assessment
Allow the Transfer of Licenses from a PC to another
Remove License
Enable multiple functionality levels or multiple purchase options, by means of GetParameter/Set Parameter/SecondKey properties
E-commerce
Allow your customers to download your applications from the Internet. You are sure that your applications are protected by SG Licenser

SG LicServer ActiveX DLL. LicServer is an in-process server (activeX DLL) which enable you to get register numbers and extend numbers/codes for licenses controlled by SG Licenser.By integrating LicServer in your applications you can customize your registration management systems or build on-line automatic registration systems
LicManager Application. Now LicManager application manages a log file to register each registering operation
SG LicServer Sample code. After installing SG Licenser you can find a sample VB6 project in folder "...\sample" named LicServerSample.vbp. This is a sample project which illustrates how easy is to build a registration management application for licenses controlled by SG Licenser
