LICENSING & DISTRIBUTION TOOLS
The key to managing your business is having the
ability to control your distribution channels.
Where your application is being used and by whom are
important factors to fine-tuning your business.
All of this can be tracked and managed through a
single dashboard: the
Flatburger Developer Portal.

Safe and Seamless License Activation: POINT-OF-USE ACTIVATION
The FlatBurger Code Protection system creates the
locked doors around the different pieces of your
application.
That protected application can then be
distributed absolutely anywhere with the knowledge
that someone will not be able to unlock those doors
and use your application unless they have purchased
the proper keys.
Many licensing systems rely on an integration with
an installation process.
One of the downfalls of relying on this
approach alone is that many application frameworks
and install tools offer very few, if any,
integrations with licensing tools.
The FlatBurger Licensing System is both
application platform and installer agnostic.
While we do allow the direct integration with
a custom installer, the system does not depend on
it. We
enable this through our ‘Point of Use’ license
activation process.
The FlatBurger Point of Use Activation Process
allows an application to be installed by any normal
mechanism.
Upon execution of a protected method inside
of an application, a valid license is checked for,
and if not found, the user is prompted for an
activation with a friendly, easy to use message.
If they user has already purchased a valid
license, they may enter their activation key, and
immediately activate and begin using their
application.
If a user has not already purchased a valid
license to the application, or specific application
feature, they are trying to access, they may click a
button to ‘Get an Activation Key’.
Upon clicking this, the user is presented
with an interface to quickly and easily select and
purchase a license package for that application.
This provides an excellent way to both
acquire a new customer, as well as upsell existing
ones that may be using a trial or limited feature
package.
All of this happens in an automated, seller-branded,
self-service way that requires no management
overhead on the part of the seller, as well as
providing instant gratification for your customers.
Point-of-Use License Activation, coupled with
Point-of-Use License Acquisition, is a unique
combination of capabilities that the FlatBurger Licensing
system provides.
