Licenses for Java-based Software

JLicensure™ is a simple yet effective licensing solution for your Java software. JLicensure enables you to control when and how often your software is installed or run. The main feature of JLicensure is an online license check (or online activation process) that is as transparent to the end-user as possible, while enforcing your license policies and protecting your code.

JLicensure consists of the JLicensure Server and  the JLicensure Client Module. The latter needs to be included in the shipping software (your software).

Client Server Environment

Even though JLicensure can be deployed in numerous scenarios, it has been primarily designed to work in a client-server environment. The JLicensure Server resides at a secure site operated by the software provider (that is you), whereas the end-user application (your software containing the JLicensure Client Module) is installed on arbitrary, previously unknown and possibly firewall-protected end-user machines.

The end-user applications automatically request licenses over the network (e.g. the Internet) through the JLicensure Client Module - usually upon installation or start-up of the end-user application software. All data transmissions use the HTTP protocol, allowing license requests to work through restrictive firewalls.
