1Way
A quick and professional way to create time-limited shareware
"1Way is the best we have found to make our software secure, to be able to provide registration codes that expire and that are also date sensitive. We sell our software all around the world and offer rentals on most of our products. Without 1Way we had to do a lot of coding which is now not necessary. 1Way is easy to use and has a lot of functionality. I'd recommend it to other developers, personally I think there is no better way to do it."
— Pete Cossey, Tauranga, New Zealand.
1Way is an ActiveX control which provides an easy and secure way to create a time-limited trial version of your application.
You can then generate a serial number (also called a registration key) to register it.
There is an (optional) secure online registration system, which is very simple to set up on your own website. This allows you to limit the number of computers which can use a particular serial number and track serial usage.
There is a high level of security throughout. Strong encryption (AES 256-bit), SHA-256 hashes, and data redundancy are used for all saved information.
It's easy to implement in almost any programming language
You can use 1Way in whatever way you choose.
You decide what messages to display to your users, what action to take
when the application expires, and what input form to display for
registration information. You can send custom information to the
application via the registration serial, and store custom information
online. All this allows for maximum flexibility.
