InstallKey
Version 3.2.327.1058
Add License Validation, Product Activation, and Installation Keys to your .Net based
application. Prevent casual copying and keep your customers honest. Similar to Microsoft
style product activation where the product key is validated against the machine
specific identifiers and validated against an internet server. Supports server based
creation, maintenance and validation of install key codes.
- Uses 30 character installation keys made up of unambiguous capital letters and numbers. This helps to make keys easy to read and enter by end users.
- Data entry key validation. This helps to catch most data entry errors before validating the installation key against the server.
- Installation key validation against a central server. Validating an installation key against a server should prove to be harder to bypass, as well as providing a mechanism to revoke rogue keys.
- Unique key usage counting tied to the hardware where the software is installed. Key usage counting is done by comparing machine specific hardware identifiers.
- Written in Visual Studio 2008 and based on .Net 2.0. Because only .Net 2.0 features are used, InstallKey is also compatible with Visual Studio 2005 and .Net 3.0, 3.5.
- Database for the server component can be SQL Server 2005, SQL Express 2005, SQL Server 2008 or SQL Server 2008 Express.
- Server validation is only required once. A tamper-proof surety file that is specific to the machine and key where the installation occurs can be verified again at any time, without another round trip to the server.
- Custom data can be securely passed to and from the server during validation. Custom data is tamperproof and can be securely retrieved at any time after validation without a round trip to the server.
- Validation can be performed with or without an internet connection.
- Add-ins and interfaces allow InstallKey to be extended and customized to fit your requirements.
