Nalpeiron Licensing Service Summary:

• Increased flexibility – enables you to price, package, and protect your software in a variety of ways with a wide range of product activation and protection options
• Robust copy protection – provides uninterrupted user access to licensed software even after upgrades, updates, or modifications to their desktop
• Lower support costs – eliminates phone calls from end users trying to re-license software after making a change to their PC or move licenses between PCs

Nalpeiron Licensing Service is API based allowing you total control of the look and feel of your application while providing a significantly higher level of anti-piracy protection. In addition, you have the benefit of a total solution that enables you to not only offer Internet based activation but a publisher control center at the back-end that enables you to manage your licenses as you wish 24x7x365 without any engineering.

Nalpeiron Licensing Service is built for Visual Studio 2008 and is platform agnostic, working on Windows and Mac platforms. It’s compatible with most of the languages you’re likely to be using, including Visual Basic, Visual C++ and C#, Borland C++, Delphi and XCode. The tools are simple to deploy and work with all types of installation tools like Installshield and is even integrated into Wise Installation Studio.

You can select from a range of licensing scenarios that enable you to ship a 'vanilla' product and then control the features set and functionality entirely 'on the fly' from the server side, automating this process via web services. This means you can ship a single binary and enable or disable features and rights any way you want, at any time, without the need for end user re-installation, including trials.

The Nalpeiron Licensing Service client side infrastructure is based on a patent-pending technology called Protect-n-Forget (PnF) that doesn’t store easily alterable files on the user’s computer or alter the registry. Neither does it require a connection to the Internet to monitor licenses. Protect-n-Forget (PnF) eliminates the need for complex alphanumeric license keys, and makes it easy to move a license using floppies, USB Flash Drives and a web server.

Increased revenues - In addition to all the normal copy protection features Nalpeiron offers enhanced revenue generation options including tracking license infractions with the overdraft facility - NLS features a way to capture license cheats, called the overdraft facility. After the license limit is exceeded, the offending license code and associated registered user details are flagged in the system under the ‘overdrafts’ section.

Strong Software Protection - Protection is implemented with an SDK, so it's always done in a way that maximizes its resistance to piracy and makes it immensely difficult to crack your program. All using the unique 'Protect-n-Forget' technology.

Enhanced User Experience - NLS makes it easy for customers to use your product with full or partial automated license management via web, phone or email.

Easy Deployment - All departments can fulfil customer needs quickly and easily, as NLS reduces the need for user input by automating license generation and delivery.

Reduced Support Costs - NLS simplifies software usage and eliminates support-related problems before they occur. It won't saddle customers with frequent breakdowns freeing up technical support from problems generated by the software protection system.
