A new set of tools for users of Setup Factory was released recently. If you are a software publisher and use Setup Factory to deploy your products, you can now use a system to verifiy the number of installs for a certain serial number, pre-select options or chose packages based on the reply of your web server, and much more.
Using this system, you can validate your serial numbers in real time. You define if you want to limit the total numbers of installs, the installs during a certain period, etc.
What do you need?
- A PHP-enabled web server and your own domain (on a shared or dedicated server)
- MySQL database server
- Setup Factory 9 or AutoPlay Media Studio 8
- Crypto Actions plugin or Mcrypt plugin (part of this package)
What does this package provide?
- You can control the maximum number of installations for any serial number;
- You can set the number of weekly installations;
- You can set the maximum number of bimonthly installations;
- You can set the maximum number of yearly installations;
- You can perform geographic tracking;
- You can automatically blacklist serials;
- There is offline activation, using email for retrieval of the required activation code, if the computer where the product is being installed is not networked;
- You can set a custom reply per serial, which can be any string or number you might want to use to control which packages are available to the user, or which should be preselected as default.
Evaluation
You find full documentation, lots of screen captures and tips, as well as the download link to the installer for the evaluation of this software package at this address. After deploying the PHP pages on your web server, you need to request a free license file that will enable the programs on your server for 14 days.
Pricing
The cost for this package (full featured Setup Factory demo project, PHP programs for installation, import of serial numbers using text files, administrative web interface, Mcrypt plugin for PHP-compatible 256-bit AES encryption) is only US$ 49.95. Considering the development time this package can save you, this is a steal.
Licensing terms
This software package is licensed per developer and per domain where the system is deployed. The license file for the PHP does not expire. If you change providers, as long as your domain name does not change, the license will continue to work.
