Enabling business growth and profitability through strong software copy protection, unmatched intellectual property protection, secure licensing, and product activation, Aladdin HASP SRM v 3.1 offers extended business models for remote access and volume licensing, as well as support for Mac operating systems and a variety of other enhancements for convenience and ease-of-use.
Detachable Software License Enables New Business Models
Responding to the growing need for flexible custom business models, Aladdin HASP SRM offers detachable licenses which allow commuters or remote employees access to protected software outside of the office, as well as volume licensing options. Aladdin HASP SRM SL users are able to "check-out" their license from the main License Manager for a predefined period of time for use on their personal computer or local machine. The enterprise is able to use the software only on the number of computers defined in the HASP license, and the end-users are able to use the software online or offline without the need to go through a Product Activation process on every computer. Publishers are able to use the detachable license feature to offer volume licensing, providing customers with a pool of licenses to use in whatever way best meets the unique needs of the specific organization. Both options significantly broaden the range of business models available to software publishers, facilitating market penetration with multiple sales models for one software product.
Mac Support
Aladdin HASP SRM v 3.1 features HASP HL support for Macs. Now, developers using Mac OSX 10.4 and 10.5 applications are able to protect their software with the HASP HL licensing option PC users already enjoy. Both 32- and 64-bit applications are supported using the HASP SRM Runtime API.
Admin Control Center
The HASP Admin Control Center (ACC) offers end-users granular control of reporting and management of all HASP keys, including detailed user-defined analysis, better license management and increased product and feature identification for monitoring and controlling installed licenses. With version 3.1, the ACC has been extended to provide a more broad range of logging functionality, giving software vendors new sales options and increasing value for end-users with customized usage and performance reports. Already an innovative and valuable feature in previous versions of HASP SRM, the ACC version 3.1 provides more transparent visibility into licensing and license use for software vendors and customers alike.
Business Studio Enhancements
The HASP SRM v3.1 Business Studio offers many enhancements for increased ease-of-use and user control, allowing vendors more flexibility in implementing secure licensing and easier access to product DRM lifecycle information. Some of the Business Studio Enhancements include:
-- Enhanced search and filter functionality: users define search and
filter criteria pertinent to their role, simplifying the report and
increasing productivity.
-- Business Studio API: vendors are able to easily set unique information
in their HASP keys' memory for each of their customers to enable
integration of proprietary licensing information.
-- Trialware license: trial licenses are defined by publishers for trial
periods of one to 90 days to better match specific requirements of the
software product and target markets.
-- License expiration notification: proactive e-mail notifications ensure
zero downtime due to Business Studio license expiration.
-- Custom installation: the HASP SRM Activations Module can be installed
separately from the Business Studio Server to make the system
production-ready, allowing installation of this module at the edge of
the network for while maintaining all other Business Studio operations
within the back office.
