Software and PC Game Vendors
The eLicense system's hosted applications let developers and vendors rapidly package,
sell, distribute, and promote products directly to consumers, and efficiently build
recurring revenue through product add-ons, upgrades, and subscription offerings.
The eLicense system simultaneously extends the market reach, and the license enforcement
of PC software and game products providing:
- safe, secure distributions for both hard media and download delivery
- robust protection from piracy and misuse
- automated creation of try-and-buy distributions -- without programming
- comprehensive private-label e-store hosting
- turnkey applications for deploying promotions and building recurring revenue
The patented eLicense system, our flagship hosted application suite, gives ISVs and game
developers the ability to easily:

within a distributed product

from within the product interface and without further downloads
- provide coupons, discounts, upgrade offers, and purchase options within products
before or after purchase
- integrate online offerings with in-store offerings and promotions such as gift
cards
- quickly create profitable, introductory, low-cost entry point offerings for tough
markets, such as time-based subscriptions or per-use licenses
- directly reward individual customers for using your products, or for forwarding
promotional offers to friends, family, and colleagues
- target the most profitable and important customers for personalized attention and
benefits
- generate steady flows of meaningful customer feedback that help build key markets
and more competitive product strategies
- instantly outsource e-commerce functions and automatically collect payment with
zero administration

- reduce the costs of support, service, and fulfillment
Strategic value:
The patented eLicense system is set apart from conventional concepts of software and PC game
vending and digital managment through integrated product protection, distribution,
promotion, sales, payment collection, and automated customer service. Together,
as turnkey solutions, these support improved:
- time-to-market
- market penetration
- recurring revenue
- service and support revenue
- subscriber bases and customer loyalty
- word-of-mouth
- customer retention
- niche market development
- real-time marketing and sales analysis
- strategic and tactical flexibility
- loss prevention
Compared to reliance upon physical media shipments and one-time-charge pricing,
eLicense online, on-demand access to digital products and new revenue models
such as gift cards and software rental. This also gives software and game producers
significant advantages in developing new forms of revenue while they control costs.
In addition, eLicense integrated rewards, upgrades, and maintenance subscriptions
make customer service a source of recurring revenue rather than a cost center. Deployed
both online and in retail channels, digital product vendors find it easier to build
growth and repeat business.
