  New logo, new Web site and new features

We have moved this year to a more aggressive marketing plan and one of the primary targets was our Web site. We have revamped the entire site, added a lot of new features and have a brand new logo.

The new Web site is smaller, cleaner and easier to navigate. Some of the new features include:

  • Drop down navigation menu and breadcrumbs
  • Site search
  • Special Feature navigation area on the right that includes:
    • Live Chat availability
    • On Line Product Support and Ticketing
    • The Concept Software Forum
    • Advance notice of our new freeware product: Trial Creator!
  • A rotating Headlines area to let you know what’s new
  • And a lot more!

Please take a look at our site and let us know your opinion. Find us at:

  SOLO Server passes the test!
As many of you may be aware, one of our clients, 321 Studios, was recently involved in a court injunction requiring them to cease selling one of their products. During the week preceding the date of the injunction, the SOLO server was inundated with orders from both individuals and distributors. We are pleased to inform you that the SOLO server bravely weathered the storm. Not one hiccup! It is always difficult to “stress test” a system; load testing software is never the same as a real world situation.

However you can rest easy. At peak the SOLO server processed almost 1/2 Million dollars in orders in one day and almost 450 orders in one hour.

  Thushan Fernando is winner of the Concept Software Forum Contest

Thushan’s idea of dynamic alias file sizes to avoid hackers looking for similarly sized files and deleting them, was exactly what our developer’s were looking for. Other ideas submitted were clever and correct, but were already in development. Thushan’s idea was timely and will be added to the next version of Protection PLUS which will be released later in 2004.

Thushan will receive a top of the line 4x Lite-On® internal DVD+R/+RW Burner contributed by 321 Studios.
