Licence Master 3.0

FAQ's

• Q: We are considering using your product for online magazine subscriptions. how will we be able to prevent someone from sharing the licence or user name and password to access the online mag? can we lock it down to IP address instead of via domain or is there a smarter way to do it? Please advise. Thanks.

  A: Hello, thanks for your enquiry. I'd need to know a bit more about your plan to give you an answer to this. Are you developing a DNN module to publish and manage your online magazine? Is that module something you sell to your customers so that they can incorporate the magazine contents on their DNN websites?

• Q: does the tool have to connect over the web to the license master site each time the app/module starts? Of just when a license is needed? Thanks!

  A: That is entirely up to the client application. If you don't want to check the licence status each time your application starts, you can cache the status to a database or other medium. If you do that and you are issuing periodic licences, your application should check the status with Licence Master periodically, to ensure that the licence has not expired.

• Q: Cool idea. This looks promising. I have a couple of questions 1) Do we need to pack the following files in the client apps? Dotcom.Modules.LicenceMaster.Client.dll Dotcom.Modules.LicenceMaster.Client.XmlSerializers.dll If so, will they be constantly overwritten by other vendors who are also using different version of license master? 2) Can we up grade from 10 apps to 20 apps version?

  A: Yes, those two .dlls need to be packaged with client applications. The DNN installation framework will not overwrite a newer version of a .dll, and we maintain backward compatibility of those components, so you can be assured that they will continue to work for modules compiled against earlier versions. Yes, you can upgrade to licence more apps at a later date.

• Q: Hey, Great module, if you ever do a version that works with skins and modules both ... that would be great. Count me in as a customer if you ever do that. A tracking feature would be nice that could allow us to see how many installations there are for a particular license. Something like the google analytics / email tracking code or image that we can add to our module / skin that would send license master details of the module, license number , URL it is being used on, the date and time when the tracking code was triggered, etc. And if we could then also view this list of data against each license number or customer within the License Master interface. Would be even better if a singe license issued by Nukeville to the customer could work to activate both the Skin and module pack (because Morpheus and SkinLab are bundled and can be used under a single license). Great job! Have a great day, Thanks, Evan O'Neil. Nukeville.com

  A: Thanks for the comments, please spread the news! Remember also that Licence Master enables you to prevent your applications from being used without a licence. You always know exactly how many installations of the application are licensed, and the domains on which they are authorised to be used.

• Q: Hi, Interesting product ! on the $195 license, can I use License master on upto 10 DNN modules for sale? I know I can use this product to protect a DNN module. Is it possible to protect a DNN skin pack as well ? Is there a ping back feature I can use to monitor installations? Our current licensing model allows skins and modules to be used on a single domain / website (Standard) or on Multiple websites hosted on a single server (Enterprise), how easy is it to set up this configuration with License Manager. Waiting for your response, Thanks, Norman.

  A: Hi Norman, Thanks for your interest. Yes, the $195 licence covers sales on up to 10 different DNN modules. We have plans to release a new edition of Licence Master that can be used to protect skins as well. Please email dnn AT dotcomsoftwaresolutions.com with more information about your needs regarding the ping back feature. You can sell licences that cover any number of installations using Licence Master. It is as easy to set up as specifying the number of domains when you create a new licence.
