On hardware-based software licensing key

Software license is that the software publisher grants a license to use one or more copies of software, but that ownership of those copies remains with the software publisher. One consequence of this feature of proprietary software licenses is that virtually all rights regarding the software are reserved by the software publisher. Only a very limited set of well-defined rights are conceded to the end-user.

Software License Types

Individual licenses

l         Individual (Single-user): This license type allows the software to be used on only one computer which is not accessed by other users over a network. The other users are not allowed to use software while connected to your computer. Types of individual licenses are:

l         Perpetual license: allows the customer to install and use the software indefinitely without any limitation.

l         Subscription license: Allows the user to use the software for a specific time period. At the end of the term the user has several options: (1) renew the subscription; or (2) purchase a perpetual license at a discounted cost; or (3) remove the software from the computer.

l         Trial license: Allows software venders to release the software for a period time like a month as marketing tool. The end user can only use this software for only one month.

l         Evaluation license: This license allows the expensive software to be evaluated with certain period.

l         Demo license: This license allows end users to demonstrate the software with partial function or certain period.

l         Feature based license: This license allows end users to use partial function of the software to save money than to use the whole package.

l         Time limited rental license: This allows the end user to pay per time. The end user pre-pay a period of time that fits their needs. The end user can also renew before the license expired.

l         Concurrent Use: This license type requires the end users purchase licenses for the maximum number of people who will be running the software simultaneously. However, end users can usually install the software on more computers than

Network/Multi-user licenses

l         Server (Network): Licensed per server – This license type requires that you have a single copy of the software residing on the file server

l         Per Seat (Machine): Licensed per machine/seat – This license requires that you purchase a license for each client computer and/or device where access to services is needed. This license is typically used in conjunction with a network license.

Add-on’s to existing or new licenses

l         Upgrade: This license is acquired when a user has a previously acquired software license and would like to move up to a newer version.

l         Student use:This allows students to use the software as long as they are students of the institutions. Students are required to uninstall software upon leaving the University.

l         Secondary use: Allows the licensed end user to use the software on a second computer.

l         Work-at-home rights: Allows Facult/Staff to use software at home. This is effective for as long as the primary work computer is licensed and as long as the person is an employee. Termination of employment also terminates this benefit.

l         Home use: Similar to Work-at-home rights

How hardware based software license key works?

In order to improve the relationships between vendors and customers as well as grow revenue, software pricing and licensing policies are made more flexible. Hardware keys are made to feature secure software licensing options and offers multiple licensing molds locked into the hardware key to supply flexible licensing protection. Such as HASP from Aladdin, Sentinel from Safenet, UniKey from SecuTech.

Hardware key or software protection dongle is the hardware-based protection and licensing management tool.  It is a USB key with memory that protects software against piracy and illegal use by allowing access and execution of the protected software only when the key is connected to the computer.

The hardware keys provide licensing method with envelope-base automatic implementation and API-based automatic implementation.

The only thing that would make hardware key better for software license management is if there were an industry-standard way to store multiple software licenses on one physical dongle (and transfer them securely if need be). Public computers could have those software installed on them at no cost to the business providing the computer, but they would only work when someone presented a valid license via their dongle. And the end user would never have to think about moving the licenses to a new computer or losing valuable software when they dispose of the old one.

Make Sure Your Accounting Software Has a Clean Layout

Posted May 24, 2010 Softwares Comments Closed

The layout of an accounting software package is much more important than the aesthetic benefits that it provides. Although some argue that accounting software reviews give too much attention to the layout and user interface of a software package and should pay more attention to the software’s functionality, do not overlook the importance of having software that is easy to use and understand.

In fact, having accounting software with a clean layout that is easy to use is probably more important than other software that the business uses and should be one of many factors that you consider when choosing new software.

Having a clean layout is important because accounting is complex and difficult to understand – especially for individuals with minimal accounting experience. Even the terminology – credits, debits, assets, and so on get confusing to some and can be the kind of things that turn people off from accounting, despite the importance of it. This is why it is important to find software that makes entering information easy and possible without knowledge of what kind of transaction was just completed (in accounting language). Once the info is in the system, the software also needs to be able to generate reports that can be understood by someone without an accounting background.

This is not to say people that use accounting software are dense. Quite the contrary. However, in most cases, businesses do not want to spend time doing something that is complicated that they may not completely understand if there is software available to do it for them. Reviewing financial reports is imperative to success of a business and is an ability that all companies need. Having to create those reports, however, is not the kind of thing that most companies want to spend time on as it doesn’t contribute directly to their profitability.

For most small businesses, therefore, the ideal accounting software is something that is easy to use but powerful. Information should be easy to input and reports should be easy to understand. The heavy lifting that is done in the background by the software is important in the sense that it must be done correctly (which it will be) but it is not important that the business necessarily understand how those calculations were made.

It is also important to note that a clean interface does not imply software that is less powerful. In some cases it does, but it does not have to. Instead, a clean interface should make the software easier to use and translate in to more efficient analysis of costs and revenues.

For example, most accounting software will include an invoicing feature. Some software will begin with the accounting ledger and give users the option to create a custom invoice from the ledger. However, this is not the easiest method to complete this task for most users.

An easier manner to create the invoice is to create the invoice and have the software automatically update the ledger. Therefore, as the invoice progresses (issued, sent, paid), the ledger will automatically be updated by the software. Since the invoice will need to be processed anyway, eliminating the need to interface with the general ledger saves time and makes the entire process more efficient.

If you’re searching for new accounting software, check software review sites and look at screen shots of the software’s interface. This should give you a good idea of how easy to use the software will be for you. If the interface looks complicated, chances are that it is and you should look for a better solution.

The goal of getting a new accounting software package should be to save time, and consequently money. Therefore, the easier the software is for you to use, the less time it will take the more you will benefit from the software.

Finally, keep in mind who will be using the software. If you find the interface simple but know that you won’t be doing the majority of the interfacing with the software, get input from the end-users before selecting new software. In nearly all cases, new software will require some training, so remember to factor those costs in to your budget.

New accounting software should add value to your company. Make sure that you choose a package that will not be so cumbersome to use that it takes time and money away from revenue-creating tasks.
