Protection PLUS 5 SDK for licensing LabVIEW add-on applications!

Concept Software, the creator of the SoftwareKey System™, is seeking early adopters of the new Protection PLUS 5 SDK tools for LabVIEW! Inspired by many of the same powerful technologies and experiences that have made Protection PLUS 4 the licensing system of choice for thousands of software developers for over 20 years, Protection PLUS 5 SDK is an all new, built-from-the-ground-up addition to the SoftwareKey family of software licensing solutions.

One of the exciting new features in our new Protection PLUS 5 SDK Native Edition is support for additional platforms (such as Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux - both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures) with the same API! In addition to our next-generation licensing API (which has been in widespread production use for a couple years), we are previewing a LabVIEW palette to make it easy to call this new library directly from LabVIEW.

Advantages of Protection PLUS 5 SDK over Protection PLUS 4 SDK:

  • Easy to use
  • Uses XML for the License File format for the greatest extensibility
  • Better flexibility with licensing
  • Support for near-limitless storage of user-defined license parameters data across all online and offline activation methods
  • Several new activation methods
  • Uses the RSA Algorithm to leverage public key cryptography and digital signatures to better secure the license file and its data.
  • The introduction of read-only license files offers incredible security against license parameter tampering.
  • New simple-to-use APIs and direct access to SOLO Server web services

Initial customer feedback on our LabVIEW library is overwhelmingly positive:  "My 5 minute/10mile impression of the PLUSNative Labview files you provided is: very nice.   I don’t know who did the LabVIEW side, but Kudos to her/him/them as its looking pretty darn good!"

Contact us today to request the preview Protection PLUS 5 SDK tools for LabVIEW!
