How to Create a Software Subscription This guide shows how to create a software subscription for any Windows or Macintosh product.
Step 1 - Configure a Subscription Ticket File
Use the QuickLicense application to configure the license. Checkboxes and selections in the License dialog determine how the activation and subscription process works.Select Monthly, Quarterly or Yearly time period. Indicate if you want the same Subscription Code for all customers or a computer specific code for each. Click the Make Ticket button to generate an encrypted Ticket file that defines the licensing strategy.
On application launch, send a Request Message to the QuickLicense runtime and get back a Response Message. This process allows your application to be activated, ensure security and validate the active subscription configured in the Ticket file. QuickLicense comes with examples that show how to send and receive the Request Message and Response Message strings.
If your configured Ticket file presents an Activation dialog, that dialog can contain the URL of an activation page on your web site. An HTML form can collect the customer information and email it to you. Use the QuickLicense application to import the customer data with one command. Generate an Activation Code that is automatically emailed to the user. An Activation Code can be immediately generated from a script running on your web site or by the Safe Activation Service.
Step 4 - Distribute Subscription Codes
The batch email capability allows messages to be individually customized and precisely targeted. The delivery process includes preview, attachments, delivery logs, start, stop and job persistence.
