Concept Software is hiring! =========================================================== 1. SOLO SERVER EARLY ADOPTER PROGRAM With over 70 companies now using Instant SOLO, processing thousands of dollars a day in software orders, SOLO Server has proven to be a stable, robust platform for selling software online. In addition, SOLO Server has been chosen by CazCat.com to manage their electronic licensing needs. Concept Software has decided to find 5 US-based "Early Adopter" sites. These are customers familiar with Protection PLUS and SoftwareKey SOLO who are willing to be a test location. We are offering a 50% discount on the estimated price we will charge for the turnkey package. We do not consider an "Early Adopter" the same as a beta tester, since the software distributed is the same running on our servers and processing live transactions all day long. If you are interested in our Early Adopter program, contact sales@softwarekey.com or call us +1 407 786 4457. You must already be using Protection PLUS in your application to participate. =========================================================== 2. SOLO LITE RELEASED - DETAILS NOW AVAILABLE A perfect middle ground between Instant SOLO and SOLO Server, SOLO Lite gives you complete control over the entire online experience. Server scripting source code and a sample license database is included to jump start your implementation of online ordering, unlocking, and Electronic License Management. SOLO Lite features: * Generates Protection PLUS activation codes compatible with LFEdit * Can be used in custom unlock key generator or web server * Includes sample Microsoft Access license database * Sample Active Server Page source code to manage license database * Users must be authenticated before an activation code is released * All unlock request activity is logged * Manages multiple products and distributors * Basic online ordering capabilities using various Payment Gateways For more information, visit http://www.softwarekey.com/solo/lite/. =========================================================== 3.
